>“I said, ‘when are we going to get our stuff back?’ They said it could be days or it could be months,” she said.
In my experience when a federal agency raids you, steals your stuff, and later realizes they messed up and there was no crime, they'll keep your things for 10 years then give them back, broken, after the statute of limitations. Minus the valuables the FBI agents took for themselves over the years.
She should not expect to ever receive anything back worth getting back.
A family moved to their new home in Oklahoma. The father was still in Maryland. ICE agents broke into their home and dragged her and her daughters out of the house in their underwear in the early morning and made them dress outside in the rain. They also confiscated their property (phones, computers, cash) and didn't return it even though they were not the people they were looking for. They were looking for previous residents of the home.
The agents also failed to provide any information on how to get their property and cash back.
