Impersonators pretending to be immigration agents are spreading
fear among migrants already uncertain about their future in the
country.
Cases of illegitimate Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents
have been reported across the country. Some have been charged
with federal criminal crimes of impersonating a federal law
enforcement agent.
In Florida, a 23-year-old man was recently arrested and charged
when police said that he claimed to be an ICE agent and threatened
to deport two men after he pulled their vehicle over and demanded
their identification.
A 33-year-old South Carolina man was arrested in January after
he was accused of stopping a vehicle with Latino men inside and
claimed to be with ICE. Video of the encounter involving Sean
Michael Johnson allegedly claiming that Latinos were “going
back to Mexico” went viral.
Johnson was charged with three counts of kidnapping, impersonating
a law enforcement officer, petty larceny and assault and battery.

Figures ... someone ALWAYS takes advantage.
Of course there were plenty of faux-police before,
typically home-invasion gangs. Easy enough to buy,
or fabricate, what looks at a glance to be legit
cop gear.
Immigrants, legal and esp illegal, are easier to
intimidate and fool. They generally WON'T dial
911 to fetch more, real, cops. Robberies, beatings,
murders and rapes have been committed by faux-cops.
It's not JUST 'immigrants', but older people who
tend to be credulous ... if they kinda sorta SEEM
like cops then they MUST be, right ?
Clue ... if you don't see a full-out fancy police
cruiser in yer driveway - CALL 911 INSTANTLY and
LEAVE THE LINE OPEN.
