Episode: How to Spot a Fake ICE Agent
Description: Criminals have been impersonating ICE agents, using fake badges to rape, rob, kidnap, and terrorize communities across America. These imposters have conducted workplace raids, street stops, and home invasions.
They wear tactical gear, drive unmarked vehicles, and ask "Are you a U.S. citizen?" Our investigation documented 13 cases spanning from 2016 to last week.
We also talk with Laura Jadeed, a reporter who received a job offer from ICE despite skipping most of the application process.
