ICE impersonators on the rise: Arrests made as authorities issue national warning
Authorities in three states have made arrests in connection with individuals impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, as tensions rise amid a nationwide immigration crackdown.
Authorities in at least three states have arrested individuals allegedly impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at a time when real ICE agents have ramped up immigration enforcement efforts under the Trump administration, adding to existing fears of law enforcement among migrant communities.

genuinely, if i was american, i'd make sure to get a license to carry just in case this ever happened to me. anyone not identifying themselves trying to stuff me in an umarked vehicle is a kidnapper and will be treated as such.
What if these fake ICE officers identified themselves as ICE though? At what point does your identification become truth? The official ICE gestapo already doesn't have to fully identify themselves.
So you’ll be charged with resisting arrest and uttering threats. So even if you’re innocent of the initial immigration charges you still get a felony arrest.
They are sending people straight to off shore black sites. If you wanna go to El Salvador or Guantanamo Bay, be my guest, but i have no plan on being sent anywhere.
My point was you can’t win. They’ll fuck you either way
And their point is that if you fucked either way it doesn't matter anymore what you do.
Well then I'm taking a few of them with me!
You're already being kidnapped and potentially sent to an out of country prison with no hearing. There is no downside under these parameters.
actually, legally speaking you are 100% in the right for defending yourself from kidnappings. any officer is required by law to identify themselves, and seeing as they didnt, thats on them.
Yup. I'm shooting anyone in the face who tries to abduct me without properly identifying themselves. I'll deal with the repercussions after I potentially save myself from being human trafficked or having my organs harvested.
The problem is you might not get the chance to make such a defense in a courtroom. If it is an actual ICE agent, they will just disappear you.
