Agents raided the North Hollywood home of Netflix actor Siaka Massaquoi (right) who participated in the “Stop the Steal” protest rally in Washington, DC in January.
Massaquoi was photographed among the Trump supporters protesting the 2020 presidential election in the nation’s capitol on January 6, 2021.
Nearly two dozen armed agents raided Massaquoi’s home, terrorizing the actor and his friends just before 6 a.m. on Friday, the L.A. Times reports.
42-year-old Brian Burks and his two minor children were in the home at the time of the raid.
Burks’ ex-wife, Luvelle Mendoza, told the Times that her ex-husband was “briefly detained” by agents. She said her two sons, ages three and seven, were also in the home when the agents stormed in with semi-automatic rifles.
“My heart breaks,” said Mendoza who worries about the mental trauma to her young boys. “They had to see the big guns and I just think, I wasn’t there to console them.”
The Times reports that both men are under investigation for their comments on a social media app.
Massaquoi is best known for his roles in “S.W.A.T.” and “NCIS: Los Angeles.” He attended political rallies in support of former President Donald Trump in 2020. And he participated in the movement to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat.
On his Instagram account, Massaqoui, a registered Republican, said he was within his constitutional rights to protest — just as Black Lives Matter and Antifa protested by looting and burning down courthouses and police stations last summer.
“I did nothing wrong on the 6th… did nothing violent,” Massaquoi wrote on IG.
