ABC News general

Key Points:

  • Federal agents forcibly entered the home of Chongly Scott Thao, a U.S. citizen of Laotian Hmong descent, in St. Paul, handcuffed him in minimal clothing in freezing weather, and detained him for about an hour before releasing him; DHS claimed they were searching for two sex offenders allegedly living at the residence, which Thao's family denies.
  • The two men DHS named, Lue Moua and Kongmeng Vang, are reportedly unknown to Thao's family and do not reside at the home, contradicting the agency's statement.
  • The Justice Department is investigating a disruption at Cities Church in St. Paul during a service, where protesters accused a pastor of leading the local ICE office and opposed ICE tactics
