🚨BREAKING: ICE agents surrounded the WRONG HOUSE for NINE HOURS… got a warrant… and still arrested the wrong person.
They were looking for Gerson Manuel Portillo-Escobar, a human trafficking suspect who lived at 919 Hamilton Crossings Station, Antioch, Tennessee.
Instead, they targeted someone at 939… a completely different home… and arrested Miguel Antonio Blanco, who has no criminal record.
Agents saw Miguel go inside his own house and decided he was their suspect… Even though they had the correct name, address, and a photo of the actual person, who lived a few houses away.
Miguel told them repeatedly they had the wrong person.
They ignored him.
For nine hours, they called out someone else’s name and tried to get inside.
Then, they got a warrant… forced entry… and took a man who wasn’t on that warrant.
This is a Fourth Amendment violation… you can’t have probable cause if you have the wrong person and the wrong house.
It also raises due process concerns under the Fifth Amendment… because the government doesn’t get to ignore facts and detain someone anyway.
They had the right information… They just didn’t use it.
“This could disenfranchise Black & Brown voters. These are political parties choosing their voters.”

🔥 WOW — ex Knoxville REPUBLICAN state House Rep @EddieMannis: “The special session being called by @GovBillLee is shameful and absurd… should offend every Tennessean… they are afraid of the midterm results…. shameful, anti-democratic, a betrayal of the public trust…”
@SethAbramson Tell me Israel will no longer speak to you through diplomatic channels without telling me Israel will no longer speak to you through diplomatic channels.
@Maryland1966@ABC She was killed by Janta Virus. It's carried in mouse droppings. She had probably cleaned an attic space or somewhere mice had been. It's common in the Southwest. You have to be really careful and wear a mask when cleaning rodent droppings.
@ActivePatriotUK Tell me you're racist and xenophobic without telling me you're racist and xenophobic. And tell me you have no business working in healthcare! You don't KNOW how to treat AIDS, Syphilis, and TB?? What kind of jacked up medical education did you have?
@ZelenskyyUa@POTUS Sorry Ukraine, sorry President Zelensky, sorry Ukrainian people, sorry for your terrible visit, and sorry our "president" is an unmitigated jackass who thinks everyone who breathes his same air owes him something. You are better off without him & his couch-cuddling sidekick.
