MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — For days, Luis Ramirez had an uneasy feeling about the men dressed as utility workers he’d seen outside his family’s Mexican restaurant in suburban Minneapolis.
They wore high-visibility vests and spotless white hard hats, he noticed, even while parked in their vehicle. His search for the Wisconsin-based electrician advertised on the car’s doors returned no results.
On Tuesday, when their Nissan returned to the lot outside his restaurant, Ramirez, 31, filmed his confrontation with the two men, who hide their faces as he approaches and appear to be wearing heavy tactical gear beneath their yellow vests.
“This is what our taxpayer money goes to: renting these vehicles with fake tags to come sit here and watch my business,” Ramirez shouts in the video.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to inquiries about whether the men were federal immigration officers. But encounters like Ramirez's have become increasingly common.
As the sweeping immigration crackdown in Minnesota continues, legal observers and officials say they have received a growing number of reports of federal agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers and in some cases anti-ICE activists.
...
Where past ruses were aimed at deceiving immigration targets, the current tactics may also be a response to the Minnesota's sprawling networks of citizen observers that have sought to call attention to federal agents before they make arrests.

Good. Keep them paranoid.
If you’re legal what’s the problem? Oh you’re not legal well leave our country.
DOJ needs a few indictments of business owners who are hiring illegals.
Perp walk them out of their offices in handcuffs like they did Roger Stone.

When citizens turn on the law, the law is forced to camouflage to keep the law.
AP continues its unholy anti-America jihad journalism against ICE and for illegal immigrants.
The question raised...... did ICE get their man?
This is what our taxpayer money goes to: renting these vehicles with fake tags to come sit here and watch my business.
Money well spent deport and nonstop.
Some judge will call this entrapment and let them all go free.
GREAT. Use all of the tools in the toolbox.
Awesome.
These guys keep getting better at accomplishing their goals.
ICE, ICE Baby.

So it’s OK if illegal aliens masquerade as citizens for access to our system but it’s not OK to entrap them.
It’s SOP for LEO to run undercover operations to trap criminals. ICE is operating in the finest tradition of law enforcement. GO ICE!
He shouldn’t be concerned if he didn’t have anything to hide......
This problem is far deeper than we imagine.
Keep up the good work ICE!
Yes.
I believe that the people who knowingly hire illegals, who knowingly rent to illegals will eventually need to face repercussions for harboring. If we really want to reclaim America it will need to become very difficult/impossible to live & work in America as an illegal.
I’m generally more afraid of democrat ruses like “vote for me, I’m sane!”.
The nerve of illegals making statements about the waste of taxpayer dollars on these ICE units doing their jobs. And to think literally trillions of dollars have been wasted over the past few decades on illegals for housing, medicine, nutrition, schooling, etc. Along with illegals voting by the millions, illegally of course, too. The unmitigated gall, courtesy of primarily the democrat party but with help from the RINOs. We are in deep doo doo.
More Far Left Pro-Illegal Alien Invader SOB stories.
Now ICE needs to deploy ICE decoys who aren’t really ICE. Even better, dupe the anti ICE people into being those decoys. Slap some DHS emblem stickers on their vehicles. Get creative people!
