I was thinking about the damage to the victims' car. Could make an argument that this violates 4th Amendment property rights.

Also can sue the US for damages (including emotional distress for false arrest, IF officials had no warrant).

I think you mean 5th amendment which provides that property may not be taken without just compensation

I had forgotten this clause! I was thinking of deliberate damage being a form of seizure. Thanks for the correction!

They likely violated 4th amendment rights as well but those are eligible for compensation via section 1983.

The right wingers are always going on and on about property damage. Looks like ISIS...err...I mean ICE might have just caused some with their act of violence.

It absolutely violates 4th amendment rights, undoubtedly more laws.
