US citizen dragged in underwear out into freezing cold mistaken by ICE for man in prison

A U.S. citizen who immigration agents dragged outside in his underwear during the freezing cold in Minnesota was mistaken for a man who has already been in prison since 2024, according to reports Friday.

ChongLy Scott Thao, 56, said that ICE agents forced themselves inside his home without a warrant and held him at gunpoint, CBS reported. Thao said the agents then drove him to the "middle of nowhere," where they realized they had mistaken his identity and took him back home.

He was seen on video and photos taken in only a blanket and underwear in freezing temperatures and snow.

The Department of Homeland Security and its ICE agency had previously said that Thao matched the description of two suspects and that they were looking for two men accused of sex crimes.

ICE officials said that one of the suspects, Lue Moua, was not in custody yet — but that wasn't the case. The Minnesota Department of Corrections confirmed that Moua has been in prison since 2024 in connection with a kidnapping charge.

"According to DOC records, Moua is currently scheduled for release in January 2027, and has an active ICE detainer. Officials with the state's corrections department say that ICE should have known that Moua was being held," CBS reported.

DHS has claimed that confusion around arrests should be blamed on Minnesota officials.

"We need state and local law enforcement engagement and information so we don't have to have such a presence on the streets," the department wrote in a post on X. "We are calling on Governor Walz and Mayor Frey to agree to turning this child predator over to ICE, so this criminal can never prey on innocent American children."

Thao has planned to file a civil rights lawsuit against the DHS and told The Associated Press he does not feel safe inside his home.

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there. The generous fiscal incentives have attracted all of the major Hollywood studios to the U.K. and the country has reeled in the returns from it. Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
