    >“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.

    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:

    Perhaps they should consider a civil suit against Palantir.

    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.

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

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

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