![Fact sheet from the Immigrant Defense Project: "Ways that ICE pretends to be local police: When Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents go to homes
or in the community to arrest non-citizens, they often tell lies or “ruses”
about who they are and what they are doing. ICE agents use ruses to
get into homes without judicial warrants, to obtain information, or
to arrest people outside of their homes. A common ICE ruse is that
agents pretend they are local law enforcement. ICE agents will say they
are “police” and purposefully not identify themselves as ICE agents.
This can be confusing as they are often dressed in plain-clothes or in
uniforms that do not indicate that they are ICE. ICE police ruses can
also happen over the phone.
Below is a list of types of ruses:
In Person Ruses:
- General Investigation Ruse: “We are conducting an investigation
and want to ask some questions.”
- Criminal Investigation Ruse: "We are investigating a crime, can
we ask you a few questions?”
- Identity Theft Ruse: “Your son is the victim of identity
theft, and we need to talk to him.”
- Photo Ruse: “Have you seen this suspect?”
Ruses (By Phone):
- Lost ID Ruse: "We found a lost ID."
- You're a Suspect Ruse: "We’re investigating a crime
and you are a suspect.”
In all cases, the goal is to get the person to come outside a home or go to ICE, after which they are identified, arrested, detained, and deported.
Next to the list of ruses is a dialog box with examples of comments:
- “POLICE, open up”
- “I’m Detective [name]”
- “We are the warrant squad”
- “We are from the XYZ precinct”
- “I’m calling from [local court name] to confirm your address”
- “I’m calling from the District Attorney’s office”
- “We are looking for X, who is a victim of identity theft”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreiaur5lkm2eqgs42nkgpvarcio5nwte6myqvm6fxl6liqs4avhy4li)
