We bleed just like anybody else bleeds." But don't expect Convicted Felon Donald Trump's Department of Justice to care.

TWENTY armed men bust open your door. All of the lights are off. It’s dark. You’re a woman, a mother…alone in your newly rented home in Oklahoma City with your three daughters. Your husband is more than 1,300 miles away in Maryland.

These armed men—claiming they’re from the US Marshal’s Office, ICE, and the FBI—force you out of your home and make you stand outside in the rain with your daughters who are in their underwear. These men want you to change in front of all of them.

These armed men do not identify themselves by name. They say they’ve got a search warrant. The names on that warrant? NOT YOUR NAME. NOT YOUR CHILDREN’S NAMES. NOT YOUR HUSBAND’S NAME. These alleged federal agents have got it wrong. You tell them you just moved here from Maryland. You tell them that you’re all US citizens. These men…they don’t care and continue to tear apart “every square inch” of your home.

These men obviously didn’t knock before they busted down Marisa’s door in the dark to execute the search warrant. No-knock warrants, as they’re called, are only ok in very specific circumstances: when there is a credible fear for officer safety or a belief that evidence may be destroyed if the occupant gets advance notice that law enforcement is there to execute on a warrant. No-knock warrants have to be approved by a judge after a warrant application has been made by officers. In other words, there has to be the presentation of specific facts and circumstances by the police that would justify the use of a no-knock warrant. Otherwise, the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, especially in the sanctity of your home, and the police must knock and announce their presence before entering.
