Masked agents then forced their way in and pointed guns at the family, yelling at them, Thao recalled.

“ICE is not doing what they say they’re doing,” said Kaohly Her, the St Paul mayor and a Hmong American, in a statement about Thao’s arrest.

There they made him show his ID and then left without apologizing for detaining him or breaking his door, Thao said.

The US Department of Homeland Security described the ICE operation at Thao’s home as a “targeted operation” seeking two convicted sex offenders.

“The US citizen lives with these two convicted sex offenders at the site of the operation,” DHS said.

Thao told the AP that only he, his son and daughter-in-law and his grandson live at the rental home.

Thao’s son, Chris Thao, said ICE agents stopped him while he was driving to work before they went to detain his father. »
