ICE Impersonation Incidents Reach Record High in 2025, Outnumbering Four Administrations' Combined Total

Experts and local officials have linked the spike to the government's expanded, highly visible immigration operations and the use of masks and plain clothes by agents during raids

If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle—we'd call that a kidnapping. Until an alleged ICE agent identifies themselves, that's what this is.

For all we know they're a rapist murderer stalker looking for their next victim. Indefensible. Dem leadership must act NOW.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.
