The FBI is reportedly calling on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to “adequately identify themselves” when interacting with the public, following a string of violent criminals impersonating immigration agents.
“Due to the recent increase in ICE enforcement actions across the country, criminal actors are using ICE’s enhanced public profile and media coverage to their advantage to target vulnerable communities and commit criminal activity,” the agency allegedly wrote last month in a bulletin obtained by Property of the People, a watchdog group. “This not only effects the victims and communities but also has broader negative consequences on law enforcement agencies.”
