In Oklahoma City last Thursday, about 20 federal immigration agents raided the wrong home, forcing a woman out of the house with her three daughters, not even leaving them enough time to get dressed, and then seized their phones, laptops, and life savings.
“We just moved here from Maryland,” the mother said. “We’re citizens. That’s what I kept saying. We’re citizens.”
One agent told the family, “I know it was a little rough this morning.”
“It was so denigrating. That you do all of this to a family, to women, your fellow citizens. And it was ‘a little rough’? You literally traumatized me and my daughters for life. We’re going to have to go get help or get over this somehow,” the mother said.
The agents told her that it could take days or months for the family’s stuff to be returned, and wouldn’t even give her a business card.
I hope she has lawyers lining up pro bono over this.
This is the Grand Old Party of America. How do you like it now?
