Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings and sexual assaults in several states, warns an FBI bulletin to law enforcement agencies issued last month. The bulletin urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Citing five 2025 incidents involving fake immigration officers, the bulletin says criminals are using ICE’s heightened profile to target vulnerable communities, making it harder to distinguish between lawful officers and imposters while eroding trust in law enforcement.

Federal rules require immigration officers to identify themselves and state the reason for an arrest “as soon as it is practical and safe to do so.” The standard has not changed since it was codified in the 1990s, yet advocates say it is increasingly ignored.

They burst into homes with no warrant & arrest people without showing ID and then wonder why they meet so much resistance. The fact is, without those things, they're indistinguishable from vigilantes or thugs, and no one should have to do anything they say. bsky.app/profile/sjon...

Anonymous, armed people who show up without a warrant driving unmarked vehicles lacking license plates are not "officers." They're vigilantes. If you don't want to be mistaken for a vigilante, wear a badge, bring a warrant, & show your face.
