'What People Have Feared': ICE Impersonator Zip-Tied Woman and Stole $1,000

[sop]

"'Any criminal can now put on a mask, say he is from ICE, and conduct any crime. This is what people have feared.' That was how American Immigration Council senior fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick responded on social media Monday to reporting that a man impersonating a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent zip-tied a woman working as a cashier at a cash-only auto repair shop in Philadelphia and stole around $1,000 on Sunday afternoon."

"'He kept saying he is immigration officer,' the 50-year-old cashier in Philadelphia, a legal U.S. resident who is from the Dominican Republic, toldFox 29's Steve Keeley. Showing the journalist her bruises, she said that the man tied her arms behind her back, and 'every time I tried to turn around to look at his face, he twisted me around roughly.'"

"Although the shop is next to the Philadelphia Police 15th District, it took over two hours before the victim could connect with law enforcement. Police said in a Tuesday statement that the man, who escaped in a white Ford cargo van with red dashes around the middle, remains at large."

1. How do we know the man

Was impersonating an ice agent?

2. "'He kept saying he is immigration officer,' There's a pretty big clue right there.

There will probably be more of this, but what worries me is the people who will kidnap women and/or children and traffic them. Since Epstein's Fantasy Fun Island is closed down, the ultra rich pedophiles will be looking to restock their supply of victims.

Masked and not answering to anyone = lots of abuse gonna be happening in lots of places.

Make America Criminal is the new policy.

3. Not required to show identification. Yep! That's ICE.

4. maybe the question was...

how do we know he wasn’t a real ice agent and just saw an opportunity to make an extra $1000?

5. Yep

My thought too. Is this better or worse than the OP?

6. The cops are already run the biggest racket around with the money they steal via civil forfiture.

An ICE officer doing this would simply be making that existing racket a lil more efficient.

7. Ideal disguise for some of the J6 folks who are enjoying djt's latest crime-chaos.
