Study Notes
ICE Impersonating Police

- 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.

Legal Action
