The property owner is criticizing the manner in which armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents rousted her and her family, along with other occupants including Philippine teachers with visas, at a multi-family dwelling in Kahului.

She said the agents were searching for a Hispanic man who lived on the property a year ago. The owner, who declined to provide her name, also lives in the two-story multi-family dwelling where the warrant was executed on May 6 and serves as the landlord.

Also at the dwelling were a group of Philippine teachers and their families living on Maui with visas under a five-year exchange program to help ease the state’s teacher shortage, according to the Hawaii State Teachers Association.

The owner said the agents rushed through the door saying they had a warrant, but did not show it to her until the search was finished and the occupants had been waiting outside their homes for more than 40 minutes.

Some of the people detained in the operation included the property owner’s daughter, and they had blankets over them because they hadn’t had time to dress.

“Everybody out. Everybody out,” the owner recalled the agents saying. “I asked them what’s going on, and they said, ‘Everybody out.'”

She said she still has nightmares from the incident.

The search warrant was issued May 5 by Honolulu U.S. District Court Magistrate Wes Reber Porter. At the bottom of the warrant, a line is drawn through the judge’s name with a set of initials scribbled over top of it.

It was unclear whether Porter initialed the warrant or if they were added by someone else. Porter did not respond to a call for clarification on Thursday.

The warrant included the names of five people who were being sought by federal authorities along with their current immigration status. On the warrant, there is a box that allows agents to skip notifying the recipient of the search warrant if that notification could have an adverse result, but that box was not checked.

The case number on the warrant was sealed from public view. A request for comment left with the U.S. Customs and Enforcement office in Honolulu was not returned Thursday.

According to Maui attorney Kevin Block, who specializes in immigration cases, a search warrant is typically presented before law enforcement officers enter the premises.

“The fact they didn’t present the search warrant is not normal,” Block said.

One of the people who was detained is a teacher who was born in the U.S.

The teacher said she repeatedly asked the agents if she could show them her passport to prove she is a U.S. citizen. The teacher also said she offered to help prove the Philippine teachers were in the U.S. legally, but her efforts were rebuked.

“They wouldn’t allow me to do so, and said that they needed to get everyone’s names down to double check to see if the person they were looking for was here,” the U.S. teacher said.

She said that after some time had passed, the federal agents finally allowed her to retrieve her passport for them, and one of the agens “was taken aback and looked shocked and apologized” to her several times.

The customs agents left the warrant with the property owner along with an assessment of the search saying, “Nothing found, Nothing further.”

U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz described the incident as “racial profiling and a shameful abuse of power,” and Hawaii State Teachers Association president Osa Tui Jr. said it was “quite distressing.”

“There was no public apology for the harm that was done,” Tui said.
