PUEBLO, Colo. -- A Pueblo family who said masked police officers broke into their home without a warrant will get a $230,000 settlement from local, state and federal officials.

Three Pueblo SWAT officers raided the home of Daniel and Rosa Unis in August 2000, while it was under surveillance by federal drug agents.

Authorities said that Unis' sons were suspected of drug dealing.

Pueblo officials and an attorney for one of the federal drug agents admitted that the raid was in error, but blamed it on miscommunication.

DEA agents requested that Pueblo SWAT officers arrest the Unis’ sons and were under the understanding that a warrant had been issued for their arrest, but was not.

The settlement called for the city and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration to pay the family $100,000 each. The state will pay $30,000.

Pueblo City Attorney Tom Jagger said the city settled for economic reasons and didn't admit any liability or wrongdoing.

He said police had acted in good faith and relied on information from the DEA that a warrant was issued.

Daniel Unis, in a statement issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, said the family "is very pleased with the outcome, especially the recognition that the police were wrong when they broke into our home and terrified my family."
