When federal officers execute a warrant at the wrong home or business, the damage can be life-changing. Families are awakened by flashlights, children are terrified, property is destroyed, and reputations are harmed. These wrong-address raids violate the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures.

​

At The Cromer Law Group PLLC, we hold the government accountable for negligent or reckless operations by ICE, DHS, or other federal agencies. Our attorneys pursue claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) for property damage, trespass, assault, and emotional distress.

​

If your family or business was mistakenly targeted in an ICE or federal law-enforcement raid, you may have a right to compensation. We gather body-cam footage, warrant data, dispatch logs, and operation plans to prove negligence or misconduct and fight for full recovery.

No family should endure the trauma of guns being pointed at innocent people—especially children. Unfortunately, federal raid teams sometimes use unnecessary force, brandish weapons, or physically assault unarmed individuals while “securing” a property.

​

Under the FTCA, victims of assault, battery, or excessive force by federal officers—including ICE agents—can sue the United States for damages. These claims cover both physical injuries and psychological trauma caused by unlawful or disproportionate use of force.

​

Our firm investigates every detail: who entered the property, the reason for the use of weapons, and whether policy violations occurred. We work with experts in law enforcement training and psychology to build a strong case showing how federal agents went too far.

Being detained or handcuffed without legal justification is not just humiliating—it’s unconstitutional. ICE and other federal officers must have probable cause and lawful authority to detain anyone. When they get it wrong, victims have rights under federal and state law.

​

A false arrest occurs when agents detain someone without probable cause or misidentify the person they intended to arrest. False imprisonment occurs when an individual is confined unlawfully or held longer than the law allows.

​

Our attorneys file FTCA claims against the United States and, when appropriate, civil-rights actions against individual officers. We pursue compensation for lost wages, emotional harm, reputational injury, and violations of liberty and due process.

Federal raids can leave behind shattered doors, broken windows, and damaged vehicles. Victims are often left with expensive repairs and lasting emotional scars. When agents act carelessly—or raid the wrong address—the government must pay for the destruction.

​

We handle property-damage claims arising from ICE or federal raids, car collisions caused by federal agents, and excessive property destruction during searches. Under the FTCA, victims may recover the cost of repairs, replacement value, and compensation for emotional distress linked to the invasion of privacy and loss of security in their homes.

​

Our firm coordinates with property-damage experts and contractors to document losses and demand full restitution from the government. You should not bear the financial burden of a raid you did not cause.
