You gotta give these guys credit for coming up with a very creative solution to immigration enforcement.
From the Arizona Daily Star:
An
undocumented man[illegal alien] from Honduras, who has lived on Tucson's south side for more than a decade, narrowly avoided being picked up by immigration agents who initially claimed to be utility workers, according to neighbors who witnessed the apparent immigration operation.While watering flowers in her front yard Wednesday morning, Christine Cariño was approached by two men claiming to be from Tucson Electric Power, she said. One said they were looking for a neighbor of hers.
My dudes trying to track down an illegal immigrant like:
It was a clever gambit! Unfortunately for the agents, Ms. Cariño figured out the ruse and warned her neighbor before they could arrest him: She "intervened just before the undocumented man, who was inside, was about to let the suspected agents into his home, which would have made the man vulnerable to arrest."
Here's a local report:
ICE itself, meanwhile, said this:
An ICE spokeswoman declined to comment on the allegations of agents impersonating TEP workers, saying, 'It's an ongoing investigation,' in an email response to the Star's questions.
The spokeswoman, Yasmeen Pitts O'Keefe, told the Star twice via email that if she were in the reporter's position, 'I'd be very careful with the TEP storyline.' She declined to elaborate.
Maybe next time ICE should try impersonating local journalists! 😂
