The woman who actually lives in the house had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her family about two weeks earlier.
“I keep asking them, ‘who are you? What are you doing here? What’s happening,’” she said. “And they said, ‘we have a warrant for the house, a search warrant.’”
She said they ordered her and her daughters outside into the rain before they could even put on clothes.
“They wanted me to change in front of all of them, in between all of them,” she said. “My husband has not even seen my daughter in her undergarments—her own dad, because it’s respectful. You have her out there, a minor, in her underwear.”
Marisa said the names on the search warrant were not hers or anyone in her family.
“We just moved here from Maryland,” she said. “We’re citizens. That’s what I kept saying. We’re citizens.”
She said the agents didn’t care.
“They were very dismissive, very rough, very careless,” she said. “I kept pleading. I kept telling them we weren’t criminals. They were treating us like criminals. We were here by ourselves. We didn’t do anything.”
Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as “evidence.”
“I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” she said. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”
Before they left, Marisa said one of the agents made a comment.
“One of them said, ‘I know it was a little rough this morning,’” she said. “It was so denigrating. That you do all of this to a family, to women, your fellow citizens. And it was a little rough? You literally traumatized me and my daughters for life. We’re going to have to go get help or get over this somehow.”
Now, Marisa said they have, quite literally, nothing.
“I said, ‘when are we going to get our stuff back?’ They said it could be days or it could be months,” she said.
Marisa said she is left with nothing but questions.
No I don't think incumbents are doing a good job, but I know David Hogg, his policy positions, and public outlook. He is not a good candidate in my opinion. I was surprised and thought he was running with the way he worded his comment.
You want to specify some of your problems with his policy positions and who in the DNC is better?
If he would make any public policy positions beyond gun control, maybe it would be easier to support him. But he seriously seems very one dimensional as a politician. That's not to say he doesn't have other opinions, but from all I have seen of him publicly is that he is very anti gun. I get it, I have friends who went to Stoneman Douglass, but they all say he is standing on the graves of his peers. It's a losing battle for the progressive movement, we have seen it time and time again. If he could push his PAC to make some real policy positions on things that are actually destroying America such as the consolidation of wealth and property, private equity firms, labor outsourcing, debt, national debt, inefficient or poorly maintained public services, climate change, etc, he would probably be more successful with less resistance from the establishment. As for existing members of the DNC who would be better than him, I couldn't tell you. From what I gather, he is getting a lot of push back for trying to get younger people into political positions, I fully support his efforts in that regard but he needs to get his plan together.
