WASHINGTON – Barbara Arnwine, the Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, claims that her house in Prince George’s County in Maryland was raided by a SWAT Team for no apparent reason.

Arnwine is a well known Civil Rights lawyer who fights against voter suppression and voter I.D. laws.

The SWAT team arrived at her home at 5:30 a.m., disturbing the attorney and her family members, including an 80-year-old relative, Arnwine said. They also did not seem to have a warrant and asked for the name of the homeowner and how to spell that name.

“If they had a warrant and were targeting any of us then how could they not know our names and know how to spell them.”
