A California man known online as Ed says two federal agents repeatedly banged loudly on his door for nearly 20 minutes while calling his name, then allegedly waited in a car outside his home for up to two hours. Ed described the encounter in a TikTok video, saying a neighbor alerted him that the agents remained nearby. He said his lawyer later intervened and advised him not to discuss further details.
The story was shared on Ed’s TikTok account, where he uses the username etchaskej. The video describes what Ed says happened at his home and warns viewers about encounters with federal law enforcement. He also thanked a neighbor who alerted him to the agents and later checked the area after they left.
According to Ed, his attorney was able to get the agents to back off. He said the agents told his lawyer they were there in connection with National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, or NSPM-7.
Ed denies engaging in doxing or violence, saying he has never doxed anyone or condoned violence. He said he showed the faces of ICE officers in his content because he believes law enforcement should be held accountable within the law.
He also alleged that the agents used tactics that created confusion and appealed to his emotions. Ed said that despite regularly discussing his rights online, the situation left him panicked enough that he briefly forgot about them. He encouraged viewers to contact a lawyer if federal law enforcement comes to their door and seek legal advice before speaking with agents.
Ed’s account describes his allegations and personal experience. The identities of the agents, the specific reason for their visit and whether the incident resulted in an investigation or legal action were not established in the material provided.

Other viewers said the situation was “insane” and “ridiculous,” while some focused on the importance of being cautious when someone arrives unexpectedly at their door. Several people also shared the video and expressed relief that Ed was safe. There was some skepticism as well.

For Ed, the encounter became a warning about knowing your rights. For viewers, the loudest part of the story may have been the alleged 20 minutes of banging before anyone even got through the door.
