ICE Agents Masquerading as Utility Workers? Tucson Resident's Claim Sparks Investigation

Tucson Resident Claims ICE Agents Impersonated Utility Workers A Tucson, Arizona resident, Christine Carino, reported a startling encounter on Wednesday morning. While tending to her flowers, she was approached by two men claiming to be from Tucson Electric Power (TEP). They said they were looking for a neighbor who wanted a free estimate. However, Carino noticed inconsistencies: the men weren't in TEP uniforms, and one had a badge under his shirt. When questioned about Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the investigative arm of ICE, one man simply smiled. Carino's concern grew, and she immediately warned her neighbor. "I was so startled," Carino recounted, "They didn't look like they were from TEP. Their behavior was very strange." An ICE spokesperson declined to comment on the allegations, stating only that it is an "ongoing investigation." While the details remain under scrutiny, the incident highlights concerns about potential impersonation and raises questions about immigration enforcement methods. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for vigilance and clear identification from those claiming to be official representatives.
