At least two dozen incidents of people posing as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been documented in 2025, exceeding the total number recorded across the previous four presidential terms, according to a review of court filings, social media posts and local news reports by CNN. The cases range from intimidation and fraud to alleged kidnapping, robbery, assault and rape.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, whose office is prosecuting two cases this year, told the news site that the pattern is unprecedented. "I've been at this for 38 years, and I've never seen cases involving the impersonation of ICE agents before Donald Trump won the second time," he said.
