# Chicago homeowner sues US government over alleged warrantless CBP raid 2026-08-06T20:41:39+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Chicago homeowner Leo Feler has sued the US government and individual Customs and Border Protection officers over an alleged warrantless raid at his Lakeview property on October 24, 2025. The lawsuit, filed on July 28 with the Institute for Justice, says officers chased construction workers into the three-unit home, climbed a fence and damaged property, despite repeated demands for a warrant and to leave. The complaint alleges that officers detained one worker, used tear gas near a playground and caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage to fences, an air-conditioning unit and construction equipment. Feler says he watched the operation on his Ring cameras while away and later found blood and damage at home. The case seeks damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act. These are allegations, and the government’s response is not given in the report. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: CBP, Chicago, lawsuit, property rights, US immigration Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/chicago-homeowner-sues-us-government-over-alleged-warrantless-cbp-raid/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
