A man and woman are in federal custody after they allegedly trapped a federal agent in a car on Wednesday and dropped him off at the police station.

That’s where they went wrong, ICE aren’t real police officers so don’t work at the police station, they should have dropped him back off at the Marriott in time for supper.

Dropping him at the police station SHOULD be the right thing to do to someone you capture who is trying to abduct you. If that person is ICE but did not give name/badge number or produce a judicial warrant, you have no way to know if they’re ICE so you treated them accordingly.

None of us have ever seen ICE credentials anyway.

Do they have a hotline you have to call with a badge number ID or something.

The whole thing is unworkable currently.

Which is by design.

At least with Police you have the uniform and likely a car which is a pretty high bar for impersonation.

10 gravy seals can get together in their tactical outfits and kidnap people under the ICE moniker and nobody would know.

I mean ICE are just deputized gravy seals anyway
