This is the message that popped up with a big red X.
"Sorry, you have been blocked

It went on to say that I was blocked because of an action that I took.

(12,064 posts)No problem. Interesting report bc this woman was never given an explanation as to the 'why' of the property raid.
Interesting tidbit within the article: Border Control has shifted to interior raids because apprehensions at border crossings have dramatically fallen.
My take? They can't keep up with Miller's quota, so they're grabbing anyone who fits the Hispanic/dark skin profile.
May their souls rot in Hell!
Also, only one man ID'd himself as an agent. The rest of the team? Nada.

There's no info in your post to say if you got there from a Google link, or have a VPN, or any number of things.
Some "soft paywalls" record how many free articles you have read and stop you with a "pay me" notice. They store that info in browser "cookies", so clearing cookies ( and history?) will reset the count. But you're situation sounds different.
Do check for malware, as you might have unintentionally hit the site too often or with some janky browser request (the malware).
Good luck.

Do they have a limit on articles one can open without a paid subscription?

(38,589 posts)U.S. Border Patrol agents raided a Tucson woman's Midtown home Tuesday night while searching for a man who fled from a traffic stop near Patagonia earlier that evening.
After a pursuit of about 70 miles, three men were in custody but the man sought in the home search was not located.
Norma Jean Gargasz, 73, said she she was looking at her phone and thinking about heading to bed for a 4 a.m. wake-up when the armed men began pounding at the security door on her front porch after dark Tuesday night.
A former photographer for the shuttered Tucson Citizen, Gargasz said agents banged on the metal security door, and she looked through a little window in her front door and could see people in uniforms. She said she went to a bigger window and could see the agents with rifles.
Gargasz said she doesn't recall if the agents identified themselves, but they repeatedly demanded she open her metal security door.
