People are impersonating ICE agents to rob kidnap and rape people

Agents wear face masks to conceal their identities and routinely drag prisoners away while dressed in street clothes that do not identify them as law-enforcement officials at all. Their signature wardrobe accessories — neck gaiters or balaclavas that cover their faces, bulletproof vests over graphic tees — are often indistinguishable from those preferred by hate groups like Patriot Front or by the very criminal syndicates that Trump claims to be going after with his raids. When these agents suddenly charge at people inside a local courthouse, entrap pedestrians alone on the sidewalk, or ram into unsuspecting motorists with their unmarked vehicles, like they did in June to a man in Los Angeles who had a toddler and an infant in the backseat of his car, they look and act like vigilantes.

Crooks pretending to be ICE officials have attempted an astonishing variety of schemes: A woman in Bibb County, Georgia, was recently detained at work by another woman who identified herself as an ICE agent — only to realize as she was being driven away that the “agent” was actually a kidnapper. A man in Houston also claiming to represent ICE conducted a fake traffic stop, robbing a motorist of his cash and ID. While impounding an illegally parked vehicle, cops in Huntington Park, California, recently found a loaded gun and official-looking documents with DHS headings inside. Among an alarming array of other instances, ICE impersonators have detained a car full of Hispanic motorists in Charleston, South Carolina; invaded a residence hall at Temple University in Philadelphia; and sexually assaulted a woman at a Motel 6 in Raleigh, North Carolina, threatening to deport her if she reported him.

There is no legal statute that requires immigration agents to wear uniforms, and legislation governing identification and local police is a patchwork, which makes it harder to not only distinguish between law enforcement officials and vigilantes but to identify and punish real cops who abuse their power. “In Title VIII of the U.S. Code, it says an immigration officer at the time of arrest has to identify themselves, but it’s an open legal question of whether or not the masks run counter to that legal requirement,” said Rena Karefa-Johnson, who runs national initiatives at FWD.us, an advocacy organization focused on mitigating the harms of the criminal justice system. “Which kind of just speaks to the incredible weakness of our legal system in holding law enforcement accountable.”

Wild shyt. Criminals are opportunists, and as long as ICE is able to maneuver with masks, unmarked cars, no badges or warrants...crooks see an opening to victimize people.

Good idea. Until you shoot at actual ICE agents, end up in ADX Florence for 20 years(assuming you don't kill a federal agent)then deported as soon as your sentence is over.

Smart plan

Or better yet end
up tied up in a room tortured then have your body parts left in some woodland area for not defending yourself

I’d take chances with prison time

Go on trial get lawyered up and say the agent didn’t identify themselves and was masked up I thought they were a kidnapper you might just have a case

 

[Spliff]

Who didn’t see his coming?

What’s the rationale behind ICE agents being allowed to hide their identity?

Every other law enforcement agency identifies and/or exposes themselves, leaving them open to doxxing and “harassment.” That’s not a good enough excuse.

Yeah I had a feeling this would eventually happen too.

Figured this was an opportunity for crooks to impersonate law enforcement. Even if this is fake, its still dumb to allow law enforcement to conceal their identities. Leave us defenseless against fake ones.

 

[Luke Cage]

Anytime i see an ICE agent i'm just gonna assume they are fake and report them to the cops as impersonators. Maybe cops will get tired if investigating it and some change will come. I recommend everybody do the same.
