10 minutes from Rachael Maddow (trigger alert for MAGAts), much of which is a local NBC station's coverage of the incident.

I get it that mistakes happen. And this is clearly a mistake. This family moved into this rented house just a couple of weeks before the raid. So it's likely the Federal agents were looking for the previous residents. The mistake isn't the problem. It's how these people were treated after they cooperated with the raiding parties. (BTW, parties that we don't yet know - ICE? FBI? Someone else? In combination? Everyone is denying any involvement.) They were treated like dirt. In the mother's words, like dogs.

I hope that the ACLU or Institute for Justice or someone similar is willing to take on this case. These US citizens have been traumatized by their own government.
