Analysis Summary
This is verified — Ramsey County officials did announce on April 13, 2026 a criminal investigation into the January 18 removal of a U.S. citizen (ChongLy Thao) by federal immigration agents. The county attorney stated agents had no legitimate legal reason to enter the home and lacked probable cause. DHS disputed the characterization as a "kidnapping," calling it a political stunt.
