    Study Notes

    ICE Impersonating Police

    • ICE agents have impersonated police officers to gain warrantless entry into homes and detain undocumented immigrants.
    • This practice is considered a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
    • ICE agents have used various ruses to deceive people, including:
      • Showing a photo of a random person and claiming to verify identity.
      • Posing as probation officers to conduct "probation checks."
      • Tricking people into locating a family member to arrest them.
      • Pretending to be police officers during traffic stops.
      • Posing as civilians seeking contractors or day laborers.
    • These tactics have instilled fear and mistrust in immigrant communities.

    Examples of ICE's Ruses

    • Alyssa Lazo was detained for 21 days after ICE tricked her into believing they were inquiring about her car registration.
    • Margarito Castañón Nava was detained for 44 days after ICE agents impersonated police officers during a traffic stop.

    Consequences of ICE's Actions

    • Fear and confusion are prevalent in immigrant communities due to ICE's deceptive tactics.
    • People are hesitant to call the police for help, even in emergencies, for fear of being detained by ICE.
    • Immigrant communities are less likely to cooperate with law enforcement for fear of deportation.
    • The ACLU has filed lawsuits against ICE in California and Illinois to challenge their deceptive practices.
    • In 2022, a court approved a settlement requiring ICE to adopt a nationwide policy limiting traffic stops and warrantless arrests.

    Calls for Reform

    • The ACLU is urging the Biden administration to reform ICE by:
      • Implementing strict limitations on street arrests.
      • Dismantling programs like 287(g) that allow local police to assist with deportations.
      • Prohibiting federal agents from impersonating local police.

    Protecting Your Rights

    • Individuals confronted by law enforcement should verify the officers' identity and purpose.
    • It's important to document any encounters with law enforcement and report any suspicious activity.
