Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the raid. A #US #citizen, he said agents broke through his door & dragged him out in zip ties.

Johnson said he was left #TiedUp outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents finally let him go.

“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, & they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a #warrant, & I asked for a #lawyer. They never brought one.”
