Well said but I’m sure the government would say,
Because it’s how the Feds define who are Terrorist...
Don’t pay your student loans.. The government says you are now a Terrorist.

Isn’t there something in the Constitution that forbids criminalization of private debt and debtor’s prisons?

Sooner or later this will end with armed citizens killing one of these SWAT team thugs.

Say, heres a question: did anyone on the SWAT team think to knock first and wait for someone to answer? I have some others:
Since the story says the warrant was for the apprehension of the person, why did it take several officers more than ten minutes to search the house and not find her there?
What did they take/damage/destroy in the more than six hour search?
When does "being detained" become "arrest"?
The second revolution is ninety-eight years late!

I remember an old episode of Second City TV where the Library Police kicked in a door over an overdue library book. John Candy stopped them by putting a gun to a dictionary. What was once absurd and funny is now becoming the norm.

Lawyers were successful at calling support/alimony debt something else and using contempt of court. They're doing the same with other debts with other excuses (fraud, etc.).

Years ago a friend of mine who was living in campus-provided housing got a knock on her door and while walking up to it an FBI badge and ID got pressed up against the small window in the front door. It was a black lady in her forties, looking for some scofflaw who had been ripping off student loans, and this was an address the guy had used so she was checking it out. After a short cordial chat, everyone went about their business. Interesting how things have gone from polite middle-aged investigators to armed assault teams.

Because we were okay with it when they did do it to drug kingpins. Or those suspected of being drug kingpins.
Or those who did things that a suspected drug kingpin would do.
Or those who carried cash.
Or those that lived near suspected drug kingpins.
Or...

Ironically, student loans are one of the few debt not released by bankruptcy.

I h ave read this story a few times now, seems to me the problem is the Title, it should be something like:
Armed Gunmen wearing Masks Broke into a House and Terrorized a Family including 3 children for 6 hours today, Police Refuse to Investigate.

That would be a summary, but it would not fit the limited number of characters allowed in the FR title box.

Local SWAT was called out to assist the Federal agents.

So are taxes.
BTW, they are thinking about having the IRS collect overdue Federal Student Loans and putting those who default through US Tax Court.
