ICE Arrests US Citizen in Freezing Cold, Then Falsifies Justification

ICE Operation in St. Paul

• ❄️ ICE agents arrested an elderly man, Chongley Scott Tho, in St. Paul, Minnesota, during single-digit temperatures, forcing him outside without a shirt.
• 🏠 Agents reportedly broke down the door, trashed the apartment, and handcuffed Tho, who is a naturalized US citizen with no criminal record.
• ⏱️ Tho was detained and questioned for nearly an hour before ICE realized their mistake and returned him home.

DHS Justification and Family Dispute

• 🚨 The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed the operation targeted two convicted sex offenders and that Tho matched their description and lived with them.
• 🗣️ The family of Chongley Scott Tho categorically disputes the DHS statement, asserting that Tho is a US citizen, does not know the alleged targets, and that only his immediate family resided there.
• ⚖️ The family states that ICE agents did not present a warrant or ask for identification before forcibly entering the home.
• 💔 Tho, who suffers from a medical condition exacerbated by cold and stress, experienced unnecessary, degrading, and traumatizing treatment.

Broader Implications and Criticism
