STOCKTON, CA– An outraged California man named Kenneth Wright is claiming that the United States Department of Education raided his home early in the morning, dragging him out in his underwear asking him questions about his and his estranged wife’s unpaid college loans.

As it turned out, the agents were investigating Wright’s wife for possible financial fraud. She was not present for the 6am raid.

“They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatizing my kids,” Wright said.
