As reprinted from the Daily Mail
A father was dragged from his home and handcuffed in front of his children by a SWAT team looking for his estranged wife - to collect her unpaid student loans.
A stunned Kenneth Wright had his front door kicked in by the raiding party at 6 am yesterday before being dragged onto his front porch, handcuffed and led to a police car with his three children.
He says he was then detained for six hours while officers looked for his wife - who no longer lives at the house.
Mr Wright was later told by Stockton police that the order to send in the SWAT team came from The U.S. Department of Education who were looking for his estranged wife to collect defaulted loan payments.
Speaking to ABC News 10, a visibly shaken Mr Wright described what happened when he was woken by a banging on his front door.
He said: 'I look out of my window and I see 15 police officers.
Dressed in his boxer shorts, Mr Wright says he rushed downstairs and was about to open the door when it was kicked open.
An officer then grabbed him by the neck before dragging him out onto the front lawn.
His 3, 7, and 11-year-old children were also removed by officers and put in a waiting police car.
'He had his knee on my back and I had no idea why they were there,' Mr Wright said.
'They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatising my kids.'
The Department for Education refused to comment on the incident, saying they would not do so until the case was closed.
They did however confirm that their Office of the Inspector General had issued the search warrant.
The office has its own branch of federal agents that carry out search warrants and investigations.
Nice to know that we can be incarcerated and possibly killed for owing money to a school. With debtors prisons back (see previous articles on how to lose your home for owing as little as 50$ on a water bill) we need to start standing up for ourselves or else all our freedoms are going to be lost. These shock troop tactics cannot stand. Remember, anybody entering your house without cause is an enemy, cop or not. Shoot first and ask questions later unless you want to wind up in bodybag yourself. Ask the soldier from Arizona what he should have done when cop Nazis stormed his house and filled him full of holes. The Law is no longer here to protect you but to do the bidding of our new overlords. Until we move en masse to Washington and protest on the National Mall we are all in deep trouble. Time is running out for everyone.
