DALLAS (AP) — A North Texas couple got a telephone call while at a bridge date this week.

Jimmy Justice said he the call was from a federal Homeland Security agent.

Justice says the agent told him he and some other agents had just broken down the door to their house. They didn't find who they were looking for.

Justice tells The Dallas Morning News (http://bit.ly/OvwsI0) the targets of the Wednesday raid were renting the house from him but moved out about eight months ago. Justice would say no more, so as not to compromise the federal investigation. But he says the agents "were very apologetic and nice" and promised to pay for any damage.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed the raid happened but wouldn't say more.
