A new report by Harvard Political Review revealed that incidents of people impersonating U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have increased during President Donald Trump's second term, coinciding with the White House's promotion of immigration arrests through highly stylized videos and online messaging.
The report centers on a May 28 post published on the official White House website titled, "WATCH: ICE Tip Sparks EPIC Takedown of 5 Illegal Aliens Outside Home Improvement Store." The video shows three plainclothes ICE agents wearing tactical vests tackling and arresting a group of Latino men outside a retail store. One agent appears masked, and the vests display varying labels, including "Enforcement and Removal Operations" and "Police."
