Thus?

From the article:

"the government is seeking the authority to seize any individual at the subject premises and force the application of their [sic] fingerprints as directed by government agents."

I do not understand why there is a sic in there. The use of "their" in conjunction with "anybody" ("any individual" in this case) is abundantly established and semantically correct even if there would appear to be a grammatical dissonance.
