On Thursday, January 15, the “military occupation” of Minneapolis hit a new low of incompetence and brutality. While hunting for items stolen from federal vehicles—including firearms, highly sensitive access badges, and wallets—a federal task force raided the home of Alisa Porter.
They were at the wrong door.
Video Breakdown: Tactics of Occupation
Our analysis of the Ring footage provided by the family revea high-consequence failures in “opsec” and professional conduct:
The Breach (14:07:50 CST): A tactical team in full gear with long guns is seen stacked at the entrance. They were reportedly executing multiple search warrants for a firearm stolen from a federal vehicle.
Handcuffing a Bystander: Porter’s daughter was detained in handcuffs during the raid while Porter was away at a medical appointment. Porter later noted her daughter was “scared to death,” a state that should have been clearly visible to the agents on the scene.
Destruction of Evidence: In a telling move, once agents entered the unit, they were recorded on another angle searching the unit before ripping the security camera off the wall. This is a standard tactic for concealing conduct once a team realizes a raid has gone “sideways.”
Property Ransacking: Interior footage shows a home that looks like a war zone. Clothes were thrown, drawers dumped, and personal documents scattered. The front door was battered so severely that it can no longer be closed or locked, leaving the family physically insecure in their own home.
The Paper Trail: Proof of Negligence
The search warrant documents left on the table by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office list the intended target address as 2926 12th Ave S. Porter’s mail, sitting in the very home they trashed, clearly lists her address as 2928 Apt 2.
This isn’t a “technological snag.” It is a catastrophic failure of basic verification that nearly cost a young woman her life.

The Context of Terror
This raid happened just one week after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer. The city is already under siege, with “strangers with guns” moving through transit hubs and neighborhoods.
When federal agents can trash a home and handcuff innocent children based on a simple address mistake—and then try to hide the evidence by destroying cameras—we are no longer looking at law enforcement. We are looking at a goon squad.
