Federal agents blast their way into house using explosives. They found young children and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend had a traffic collision with ICE (www.nbclosangeles.com)

... have the Feds not bombed a private residence for a long time?

I know of 1985 but I'm sure this is a more regular occurrence.

There must be a list, but I can't find it on Wiki.

(To clarify if unclear, the explosives used in this case was to damage the door, not to bring down the building.)

Cops have used explosive door breaching devices for a while now. I haven't turned up a ton of citations, but there's this essay from the Arkansas Criminal Justice Institute, where a seargent discusses the pros and cons of explosive breaching.
