A woman is questioning the tactics of the Memphis Safe Task Force after she was forced out of her home half-naked early Thursday morning.

The resident on Railton Road in the Cherokee neighborhood did not want to be identified but said the federal agents were at the wrong house.

“I’ve been having a headache ever since, my body still got chills on it,” she said.

A home surveillance camera captured officers approaching the back door of her house at around 7 a.m.

You can see one of them points at the camera before it goes black. She said the camera was turned upside down.

The woman told WREG that she heard what sounded like someone trying to break down her front door, and she opened the door to find three federal agents on her doorstep, along with several more in her front yard.

“He was like, come out. Come out with your hands up. I was like, okay. He said open the door come outside. Come outside.”

The woman said she was forced outside at gunpoint while ICE agents went inside and searched her home.

“They got the guns on me. I just got red dots all over my body. I’m scared, so when I get outside, I’m naked. I don’t have anything on but my panties,” she said. “I’m like, can I get a blanket? Can I get a blanket, and they wouldn’t give me anything. He came back and said they’re in your attic. By the time they come out of your attic, they’ll be almost done.”

She said the task force members told her they were looking for a Johnny Miller.

Memphis police say Miller, who is charged with attempted murder in a weekend shooting, was arrested Wednesday at a West Memphis motel.

He is locked up in the Crittenden County Jail.

“I don’t even know this guy,” she said.

The woman said that after several minutes, agents gave her a blanket to cover up, but she is still traumatized by what happened.

She says she understands the task force is looking for people with arrest warrants, but they need to find a better way to bring them in.

“You’re looking for a man, I’m a woman. Why would you let me put his clothes on? It was nothing but men out there. It was one lady,” she said.

WREG contacted the DOJ for a comment about the search, and we are waiting for a response.

A warrant was issued Thursday for another man at the same address. The woman who lives there said she is the only person who has lived in the house since 2019.

She isn't the president so her SF95 will probably be denied.

Moving the lemm.ee State Level Doge community here and giving it a broader name.

The lemm.ee community was originally created to track the "DOGE task forces" which popped up across multiple states in the U.S. once Trump took office in 2025, but is meant to be a place for anyone, anywhere to share and discuss any corruption they notice happening at a local/community level.
