> Masked ICE officers broke down the door of Thao’s house in St Paul – without a warrant, according to his family – and dragged him into the street in his underwear while he clutched a blanket in sub-freezing conditions. > Thao, a Hmong American and naturalized US citizen, said at the time that agents drove him “to the middle of nowhere” and forced him from the car in frigid weather to photograph him, before realizing their mistake and dropping him back at home almost two hours later. This is appalling.

It did end up being ruled a homicide. So not sure exactly what will happen to the cops who left him there but it should definitely be more than the average slap on the wrist most cops get.

cdizzlePGA2k Apr 15, 2026 +12
Why would it be more?
12
Integrity-in-Crisis Apr 15, 2026 +26
Because normally all cops are protected via their qualified immunity. For that to work all their actions at the time in question need to be above board and meet all the standards their employment requires. A judge ruling this a homecide inherently deems what the police did with this unlawful. Then comes the investigation to determine the culpability of everyone involved. Since it's a given someone is getting in trouble at this point there's no use trying shield those involved. If there was any question it might've been someone not a cops fault they would be doing everything to protects the cops involved but no dice. So they're probably gonna get fired as a given, 50/50 if he is eligible for re-hire elsewhere. If the prosecutor can somehow prove that they left him out there maliciously they could rule it a murder. They're probably gonna work it down to manslaughter and get the minimum sentence but even that is more than what usually happens to police. I'm thinking house arrest and community service with a couple years probabtion.

jureeriggd Apr 15, 2026 +17
yup because after all that theatre and the cop is found guilty, his lawyers will argue that sending a cop to jail is pretty much a death sentence, and he'll get adseg (isolation) coupled with a light sentence
17
crzybstrd97 Apr 15, 2026 +6
Maybe the cop should've thought about that before murdering someone. No need for special treatment.

cdizzlePGA2k Apr 15, 2026 +4
Don’t disagree with your thoughts, just I wish I agreed with you on how this will go. I bet this person is “arrested” and then when we all forget about him, back on the streets.

It’s only one story of many. They were pulling people out of vehicles and abducting them, leaving vehicles running on streets and blocking traffic. Minneapolis had to issue a towing moratorium.

Floreat_democratia Apr 14, 2026 +52
Where I live, cops leave vehicles running on streets when they haul people away, and it always struck me as disturbing. Why wouldn't you move the vehicle to the side and turn the engine off?

When you pay your cops bounties to take individuals into custody, moving the cars takes time away from the next capture.

Because the police are not here for the benefit of the people. Notice how different it is driving post covid? State patrol in my area made statements about how people no longer give a f*** about their authority and I couldn't fault them.

I was driving 100-200 miles daily a couple days a week and it was a f****** ghost town on the freeways. People seemed to eventually forget that other people were also on the road even though there werent nearly as many other people. A couple more years and people are going to really start to reflect on the covid years.

People have been found not-guilty shooting cops who conduct no knock warrants and such. Castle Doctrine is not completely off the table. If someone invades your home and doesn't identify themselves, then it's fair game to defend yourself, I say.
197
droans Apr 14, 2026 +159
At least where I live (Indiana), our Castle Doctrine explicitly allows you to use force against LEOs if they don't identify themselves before entering your home. Which, honestly, is how no-knock warrants should work. The homeowner should be allowed to treat you as an armed, dangerous intruder if the police don't clearly and plainly identify yourself. That's the inherent risk of breaking into someone's house.
159
IIOrannisII Apr 15, 2026 +86
The problem is, saying "this is the police" doesn't actually identify you at all
86
Blueberryburntpie Apr 15, 2026 +63
Assuming you survive the encounter. Years ago I read about a no-knock that ended in a shootout. Something along the lines of a husband (innocent) and a deputy sheriff were shot dead (by the husband's pissed off wife who went guns blazing when her husband was shot). All because they had the wrong address. And then there was this no-knock warrant that ended in a baby getting their face blown off by a flashbang grenade (NSFW photo of the baby): https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-georgia-deputy-acquitted-after-flash-bang-grenade-hurts-toddler-n479361 > Authorities were serving a late-night "no-knock" warrant on May 28, 2014, at a home where they believed Bou Bou's father's nephew, a suspected meth dealer, was staying when they lobbed a flash-bang grenade inside. The nephew wasn't home, and the grenade — designed to disorient its target — landed in Bou Bou's crib. > Bou Bou was placed in a medically induced coma. His mother, Alecia, wrote in Salon that the grenade covered his body in burns and ripped "a hole in his chest that exposes his ribs."

Of all states, California has a very strong Castle Doctrine law. If you enter a home uninvited, you are automatically considered a hostile party.

Or what, they'll go to a real jail instead of an ICE detention center? People's backs are being put to the wall and they need to recognize this.

CanadianFerd Apr 15, 2026 +3
Honestly, if I was american, I'd rather be in jail seen as someone who killed an I.C.E. agent than in an I.C.E. detention center. The other cons might see it as a badge of honor lol

Even if the state doesn't have it in the current political climate I wouldn't be surprised if there is jury nullification (depending on the jury pool). Just look at the DC Sandwich Hero, they couldn't even get a grand jury to charge him

-Saucegurlllll Apr 14, 2026 +19
It's slightly more complicated than that. You can protect yourself from home invasions in every single state. The burden of proof required to justify the use of deadly force changes depending on the state. Something like 45 states explicitly allow the use of deadly force when defending against a home invasion (with nuances between "stand your ground" and full castle doctrine that ultimately still mean "you can use deadly force in self-defense in your home"), and the other 5 have a duty to retreat before allowing the use of deadly force. And if you're being actively kidnapped, well you can't exactly retreat, so you have a full right to self-defense with deadly force. The 4th and 2nd amendments are also generally viewed as granting strong protections in this regard. So while you're correct that the degree of explicit permission granted by the state varies across the country, you still have a right to self defense in every state.
19
Theguest217 Apr 15, 2026 +8
You may be legally right, but unless the agents you shoot at are alone, your chances of even getting a chance to sit in the court room to explain your situation are pretty slim to none. Your family might get a nice payout, but you won't be there to appreciate it.

Just like the gang of criminals they are. If they had a warrant, properly identified themselves, and followed the constitution then maybe people wouldn't feel the need to defend themselves

Thunderclone_1 Apr 15, 2026 +7
Correct, but federal agents have a great degree of coverage under the Supremacy Clause. When acting under their official duties, they have de facto immunity from state level prosecution. We can argue about whether the actions of ICE are in their official duties, but with their orders coming drectly from the president and the cabinet, and a strong conservative majority in the supreme court, I doubt any decision there would overturn that.

Heronymous-Anonymous Apr 14, 2026 +63
It will be both. For as long as a Republican holds office it will be open corruption and abject failure of enforcement against crimes perpetrated by the state against its own citizens. But even if a Democrat takes office, the security state is so entrenched that it would take an entirely different Supreme Court Bench to remove qualified immunity or even trim it back to a point where law enforcement could be held accountable for their crimes committed under color of law.

TheRadBaron Apr 14, 2026 +9
>But even if a Democrat takes office, the security state is so entrenched that it would take an entirely different Supreme Court Bench to remove qualified immunity or even trim it back to a point This is probably true in practice, for likely outcomes, but it's worth pointing out that it's not a fundamental truth. This kind of entrenchment will be hard to deal with and dependent on supreme court vacancy timing, if the Dems get 50-55% of voters on their side in some key races. If there was some massive anti-corruption pivot from the American electorate that lead to Dems winning every race with 75% of the vote, accountability would be much easier and much more rapid. Americans in recent history tend to keep their politics very close to a 50:50 ratio, which can lead to a sense that constructive political changes are always slow and moderate, but the possibility of change is dependent on how the voting goes.

HiddenSage Apr 14, 2026 +8
>If there was some massive anti-corruption pivot from the American electorate that lead to Dems winning every race with 75% of the vote, accountability would be much easier and much more rapid. Opposition to corruption is so dominant in polling that you're pretty much down to the lizardman constant for people that don't want to punish corruption. The problem is that even after 15 months of MAGA 2.0, 40% of the electorate still thinks it's *Dems* who are more corrupt, because their perception is warped by dogshit news sources that hype up every instance of malfeasance occurring in a 'blue' state as proof that all Democrats are child-eating satanists. We're not going to see that kind of massive partisan swing away from MAGA unless we get a nuclear winter - the EMP from that would at least disable all social media/algorithmic content, and being forced to live in the real world would mean any survivors have to start corroborating on the same facts again.

EclipseNine Apr 14, 2026 +4
> their perception is warped by dogshit news sources that hype up every instance of malfeasance occurring in a 'blue' state as proof that all Democrats are child-eating satanists. That's part of the problem, but these dogshit "news" outlets wouldn't have a leg to stand on if the democratic party actually had a real desire to take action against corruption and could point to examples of them doing so. It's hard to convince your voters you care about stopping corruption when it's 20 years of "heal the country, reach across the aisle" every time they're handed power after campaigning on ending corruption.
4
HiddenSage Apr 15, 2026 +2
I partly agree - but I've also seen enough mountains-out-of-molehills and false-equivalency arguments from the right to know that Dem electeds would have to be literally perfect (in the actual, original meaning of the word literally), and stay that way for a decade, before a lot of those folks would listen to reason or believe such an anti-corruption campaign was anything but a "witch hunt."

The full extent of this is becoming clear. An authoritarian state is being established, and with it the kind of corruption seen in countries with authoritarian leadership. The government supports other authoritarian leaders. Insurrectionists have already been pardoned. Agents are acting with impunity. How has ICE been able to carry on wearing masks and concealing their identity? That’s insane. It’s all a bit late.

papercrane Apr 14, 2026 +108
At best they probably had administrative warrants for the two men they were looking for (the family says that the men did not live there, and one of them has been in state prison since 2024 according to the NY Times.) However, despite the name "administrative warrants" are not warrants. It's just a form that ICE agents can fill out, and doesn't allow for them to enter private homes. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/us/ice-minnesota-arrest-immigration-investigation.html

Thank you. She was racially profiled and approached by ICE while she was walking to work, doing literally nothing wrong. She didn’t resist. In fact, she was terrified. She had valid ID on her, which they claimed was fake. They just kept accusing her of lying that she was born in the US. I’m sure you’ve seen videos of them doing the same thing to other Americans. Seems like their M.O.  This is inexplicable to me unless their sole goal and purpose was to terrorize a woman because she wasn’t white. But that’s not surprising when you think about how literal Neo-Nazis and Proud Boys are being allowed to join ICE, and then released on the public with zero training, oversight or consequences for their actions.  Luckily, she wasn’t detained long because these absolute morons epically screwed up and realized their racist mistake quickly. My wife is a rather high profile citizen. That job she was walking to? It was a hospital. Where she works. As a doctor.  But don’t get me wrong. The fact that this happens to ANY American  citizen is some seriously fascist BS, and the fact that my wife got less of the brunt of it solely because they feared the backlash of targeting a high profile member of society who could bring a media spotlight on their racism should tell you all you need to know about ICE.

I would love if ICE agents could be charged with crimes. Also, most/all people in the current administration while we're at it. I'm sad that I'm unlikely to see it happen, certainly not to the most deserving. These people should never know happiness or peace again.

Republicans spent 20 years clutching pearls over "FEMA DEATH CAMPS" "OBAMA 3RD TERM" "MARTIAL LAW"- But now as Jackboot stormtroopers drag citizens out of their homes to be thrown into camps without rights or a trial- They're silent.

Not silent, cheering it on. MAGA is beyond deplorable… they’ve crossed into enemy of the state territory.

They literally attempted an armed insurrection. MAGAs are traitors to the Republic, because they voted for it again. Even the ones who didn’t participate - they are traitors by standing behind and supporting those who did.

They weren't afraid of it happening, they were afraid their perceived enemies would beat them to it.

Kabbooooooom Apr 16, 2026 +1
Cheering it on actually. And it’s because those people aren’t white. I’ve had multiple MAGAs actually admit this to me. Fuckin racist bastards, the lot of them.

Those ICE agents, and any other police officers that may have helped them, need to be arrested for false arrest, kidnapping, assault and battery, breaking and entering, violation of his rights...and possibly other crimes against this American...all felonies. It's time to put these asshats in prison.

they've only ever been kidnappings

I really hope somebody (ACLU?) is keeping track of all of the blatant civil rights violations and will come at these assholes when their time comes. There needs to be a reckoning!

All false arrests should be treated as kidnapping. Know when a victim is freed from some nutjobs basement and they arrest the person who was holding them? Do the same thing with cops. The only difference is they tried to use public property to hold their victims.

Sounds like they were going to kill him by leaving him abandoned in freezing temperatures. This is attempted murder, and these agents need to see hard time.

Exactly what they did to that blind man who died. Left him in freezing temps in an area he didn't know & no way of finding his way home.

So if these were ICE agents, what were they doing enforcing sexual predators? Their remit is immigration and customs. These are both civil law, not criminal law. Warrants for criminal violations have to be issued by a judge for probable cause. It should be simple to figure out if a judge issued a warrant, and if so, what the probable cause was. If any DHS official stonewalls on this they should be hauled into court.

Most arrests by ICS and the DHS nowadays could be considered kidnappings

YoungOverholt Apr 15, 2026 +5
I dont understand why more people aren't armed. There needs to be more severe, immediate repercussions for breaking into a citizen's home without cause or warrant.

Good. Kidnapping is a federal charge, and since 1994 the penalty for that can include execution by the state.

The trouble is that trump can (and does) pardon federal crimes.

ARCWuLF1 Apr 15, 2026 +3
Yeah, but ICE agents aren't billionaires, just racists, and Donald Trump wouldn't have anything to gain by pardoning them. Besides: He won't be in power forever, no matter what his idiot sycophants think.

Why are they taking our freedoms away from us. True story I've gotten a lot of Army guys recently wanna be my friend on Facebook which is really weird. Sometimes I post about Trump on Facebook. It would be pretty bad if they are now picking people to kidnap or disappear bc they are a threat to our president. Or what they think is a threat.

This is a lot that their doing in Minnesota. I didn't even know Mexicans lived there at all ? Why Minnesota ? Is this what's gonna start happening in every city ? I hope the f*** not . Hopefully they'll be shutdown before than and laughed off in the end. I don't think so though. I think ICE will ne a thing to reduce Americans of there freedoms. How the f*** would a American Citizen get kicked out of the country. It's happening in a city near you.

I get the feeling Trump has no control.over his ppl....Just like Biden, their people are doing criminal stuff using their names.....Biden was simply incapable mentally at the end... Trump is either too stupid or too proud (or bith) to acknowledge that he has no control. Getting rid of Kristi Noem is too late...the inner group is controlling Trump, just like Israel is controlling Trump. Same with the Dem on their socialist group. Previously they will just side step Bernie..now is not as easy to "manage". What we have is the Right Wing and Socialist influencing policies and decision..while the traditional Dems and GOP are all powerless.

ICE was supposed to collect criminals, not realizing they were the criminals all along 🥲
