One of Soane Foliaki's clients had police knock on his door at 5am, scaring his family before taking him into custody.
A lawyer for Community Law South Auckland, Foliaki was at the dawn raid apology given by then Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in 2021 but says Pasifika people will be disgusted to learn the tactics are still in use.

Soane Foliaki spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
