Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Tucson, Arizona allegedly posed as utility workers in an apparent attempt to detain a long-time undocumented resident from Honduras, prompting criticism from community members and legal experts.
Christine Cariño, a neighbor and eyewitness of the incident, told Arizona Daily Star that she was approached by two men claiming to be from Tucson Electric Power (TEP) and looking for her neighbor, claiming he had requested a free estimate. When she asked if he was from HSI — Homeland Security Investigations, ICE's investigative arm — "he just smiled. So I took off running" across the street to warn her neighbor, Cariño said.
