A:
I'm sorry you had to go through that experience. First, ensure your safety and avoid any confrontations with the authorities. Once things have settled, make detailed notes of what happened, including the date, time, and any damage caused during the raid.
Next, reach out to a legal professional who can guide you through the process of addressing the wrongful search. They can help you understand your rights and the best steps to take to seek compensation for any damages or distress caused.
Additionally, consider filing a formal complaint with the appropriate federal agency to report the mistake. Keeping records of all interactions and damages will support your case. Taking these actions can help protect your rights and prevent similar incidents in the future.
