FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves

Oh my nobody could have seen this coming. (Sarcasm)

Take off the masks, you fucking cowards

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states,

I'd need to see some exceptionally compelling evidence to be convinced they weren't actually just ICE officers doing this.

And later in the story...

A senior ICE official tells WIRED: “Anyone caught impersonating themselves as a federal immigration agent will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Impersonating a federal immigration officer endangers public safety and erodes trust in law enforcement.”

Only the bootliquors still have any trust remaining. Fucking trust. Lol

Organized gangs finally had their lightbulb moment?

And agents who don't do this, or do other illegal acts should be dealt with. Right? Hello?

Ice are criminals

Like we’ve been saying this whole time!

Some of them are probably real ICE.

Ice is sexually assaulting people.

Let them prove they aren’t.

I always thought protesters should wear jeans or tan tactical pants, boots, vest and plate ($35-50 from Amazon), a tacticool utility belt ($20-30 from amazon), helmet ($30 from amazon) a black Balaclava Ski Mask ($6), with sunglasses. On the right chest have a random ID number like "A462". Slap an American flag patch (or a Police gang patch with the blue line).

You could even throw in a functional gas mask for $50

These ICE creeps don't have a proper issued uniform. They bought their shit off amazon as well. I saw one dude who looked like he was wearing airsoft/paintball stuff.

Can you imagine the confusion if everyone dressed in tacticool? Those untrained ICE idiots would be completely lost.

Yeah, as everyone knew would happen when the cowards began hiding their identities and acting like a secret police on amfetamins.

"Warns" "urges" Yeah that'll do ot

hah they're not going to ID themselves. these cowards can't even do their "jobs" without covering their faces because they're so scared.

So we're allowed to shoot them in self defense now if they don't ID?

Oh, oh, I know! How about they release an app, or a website, where we can take a picture of the face of any of these Agents, and it will confirm if they're actually one or not.

On a serious note, it would be very useful to have a better system of confirming who is an actual agent or not. Something like plugging their badge number into a website and they have to confirm a daily code or similar.

This just tells me that the "real" ICE agents, are doing criminal stuff and the FBI are just getting in front of that. What did they think would happen when you give the otherwise unemployable a badge and a gun, and empower them?

Lol, gee I never saw this coming....

There was a difference?

Maybe they could go after the real criminals then?

At this rate someone's going to feel legally justified to defend themselves and others with lethal force from potential criminals.

Criminals posing as Ice... Seems like Ice is covering for their own crimes they are committing

The majority of ICE then

"Criminals warn of criminals posing as criminals. Urges criminals to incriminate themselves."

Still surprised we haven’t seen more shoot outs. But that just goes to show how peaceful people seeking citizenship really are.

Wow, what a great idea.

So masked ICE are likely criminals? Noted

Well, that's all very cool.

How about ICE stop wearing those goddamned masks so they can be identified?

The FBI only put a bulletin warning that masked individuals might be pretending to be government agents, just now? After nine months of terrorism? How is this not seen as authoritarian move? This is like with any full blown authoritarian states where the dear leader says something vague tantamount to directing a purge. And when enough people were purged, the dear leader would then say that his goons had gone too far from his original intent and order them to stop. This is not the first time America did something similar; the red scare and the McCarthy's communist witch hunts went on long enough to tarnish people's reputation, before Harry Truman made a speech calling out what is happening as unfair to people whose reputations were ruined. The powers-that-be know what the heck their doing and the last minute "call to sanity" is to white wash their deliberate intentions.

But then Nana will know they raised a little failure of a fasciat and their immigrant wives won't make them pancakes.

All ICE agents are criminals. They know this, which is why they always refuse to identify themselves.

DHS has argued that agents still identify themselves while masked: “When our heroic law enforcement officers conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks to protect themselves from being targeted by highly sophisticated gangs like Tren de Aragua and MS-13, criminal rings, murderers, and rapists,” assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a September statement.

If this were true, every judge, police officer and prosecutor would be dead. So no, they do not need to hide their faces. We all know why they are really hiding their faces.

Release the files.

This is starting to sound like a 2nd amendment issue.

In my state we have the right to defend our property and that includes vehicles. So, let them try to fuck with me or my wife and see what happens. We’re homos and armed to the teeth.

How about, like every other law enforcement agency, you can demand name and badge number, and ICE must reply. If they dont, they are not law enforcement, just masked criminals.

I mean.... bare minimum at fucking least.

How about, no face masks, official uniforms with name and rank listed. They need to be spelled out who they are if they’re kidnapping people and freaking out citizens. They won’t because they know they are in danger of being exposed and isolated by friends/family or denied future employment for doing this BS (just my guess)

That's the first danger I thought of with masked plainclothes (secret) police who don't identify themselves. Human traffickers can put on the same getup and kidnap someone in broad daylight and people would assume they are law enforcement.

same, same, but different, but still the same

This surprises exactly no one.

Thanks tips
