US Citizen Mistakenly Detained in ICE Raid

US Citizen Mistakenly Detained in ICE Raid

ChongLy 'Scott' Thao, a 56-year-old man who has lived in the US since he was a child, was recently mistakenly detained by ICE officers during a raid.

It was very cold outside, and he was only wearing boxers and Crocs.

He was handcuffed and taken outside, which made him feel very scared and humiliated.

The officers were looking for two men who were supposed to be deported, but Thao was not one of them.

He was later let go, but the experience was very traumatic for him and his family.

Many people are upset about how the officers acted during the raid.

The incident has sparked criticism and protests, with local leaders condemning the targeting of innocent residents.
