ICE dressed up like utility workers from Tucson Electric Power--offer "free estimates" if invited inside.



ICE dressed up like utility workers from Tucson Electric Power—offer "free estimates" if invited inside.

Young boy fell for the trick & opened door—luckily a neighbor ran over to stop them.

"They’re lying! They’re not in uniform," she yelled. "Don’t let them in, they don’t have a warrant."

Christine Cariño started video recording the agents & intervened—just before the young boy was about to let the agents into his home—which would have made his stepfather vulnerable to arrest.

Tucson Electric Power said they were not told in advance of agents impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

I would think it a crime to impersonate someone else.


May they receive everything they deserve, and could we please speed up the process!

I've always expected to die by gunfire or worse, some of my ancestors were here before the white man. Good trouble is overdue.

hiding your face while wielding state power, don't be surprised when you're called Gestapo.

Either your operation is transparent and lawful, or you're skulking around behind masks and pretense—an unspoken confession that you know what you're doing wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. You don’t need critics to label you Gestapo—your own behavior and conduct do it for you.

For once, they're not hiding their identities. Let's see them. (But of course they were willing to show the face of the brave regular woman who confronted them)
