What are the limits of Federal liability when ICE, the FBI, or some other random federal agency mistakenly raids your home?

This very question is currently before the Supreme Court for an FBI raid of a wrong house:

The Institute for Justice's Bound by Oath has great coverage of this issue from a legal perspective.

Usually they claim they made a good faith error, go fuck off.

Cannot get into the the article, but I can imagine what it says.

A family moved to their new home in Oklahoma. The father was still in Maryland. ICE agents broke into their home and dragged her and her daughters out of the house in their underwear in the early morning and made them dress outside in the rain. They also confiscated their property (phones, computers, cash) and didn't return it even though they were not the people they were looking for. They were looking for previous residents of the home.

The agents also failed to provide any information on how to get their property and cash back.

Even worse then I could imagine. This country deserves what is coming to it.

Sounds like "Armed Robbery" and "Home Invasion" to me (at a minimum).

>“I said, ‘when are we going to get our stuff back?’ They said it could be days or it could be months,” she said.

In my experience when a federal agency raids you, steals your stuff, and later realizes they messed up and there was no crime, they'll keep your things for 10 years then give them back, broken, after the statute of limitations. Minus the valuables the FBI agents took for themselves over the years.

She should not expect to ever receive anything back worth getting back.

cactacea•9mo ago

I thought the same. She'll never see any of that stuff again.

chneu•9mo ago

When they confiscate it they do it under the mentality that you're guilty and never getting it back.

They throw that shit around. They break it before it leaves your property. If it makes it to evidence then it's chucked in a box.

I wonder if we'll start to see "ICEing" along the lines of "swatting".

This is increasingly like something you'd read about the Gestapo in 1938.

In Supreme Court right now

Now a 404.

altairprime•9mo ago

Perhaps they should consider a civil suit against Palantir.

goku12•9mo ago

They've crossed the line far enough that a comparison with the Gestapo is no longer necessary. Their infamy in the world history is assured.

It just shows how fucked U.S. has become.

I'm surprised more ICE agents don't get shot when they invade a home.
