There isn't a swat team associated with the Dept of Education. What it might have been is the guy had a judgment against him for not paying his student loan. When the guy still didn't pay, there was a warrant issued for his arrest, and then the local police arrested him.
BUT, to answer your question, yes we are losing our personal rights and the police have more leeway to step on them now.

I know of no law that authorizes the arrest for a civil ( monetary) action, there has to be criminal intent involved.

I know of two states that are POLICE STATES, New Jersey and Florida. Avoid them at all costs. The police suck, the courts suck. I live in PA which has the most civil cops I've ever seen. Courteous, professional, and caring in time of need. Most of us don't like cops, but I couldn't do their job. How they keep it together, I don't know. They deal with the worst of humanity on a daily basis. Thumbs up for the PA fuzz.

The report was corrected in the Huffington Post:
The initial report said the U.S. Department of Education "issued the search and called in the S.W.A.T for his wife's defaulted student loans," although that story has since been taken down and replaced with an updated version that did not contain the claim about the raid being connected to student loans.

Department of Education Press Secretary Justin Hamilton confirmed to The Huffington Post that the agency's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) did indeed order the action, although he said it was not about an issue over student loans in default.

"While it was reported in local media that the search was related to a defaulted student loan, that is incorrect," Hamilton said. "This is related to a criminal investigation. The Inspector General’s Office does not execute search warrants for late loan payment."
