Police arrest Temple University student for pretending to be an ICE agent

A college student at Temple University in Philadelphia was arrested for impersonating U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at an Insomnia Cookies location. The student was charged with impersonating an officer, while the other suspects remain unidentified. Temple University placed the student on interim suspension and stated that any student found responsible for such conduct could face disciplinary action, including expulsion. The incident occurred as ICE made nearly 6,000 arrests in a short period following President Trump’s executive orders on immigration. The student, along with two other men, wore shirts with “ICE” and “Police” written on them and attempted to enter a university residence hall before being seen at the cookie shop. The student was arrested at the scene, and the investigation is ongoing. Police are seeking information regarding the incident and can be contacted anonymously. The student’s actions were condemned by both the university and law enforcement officials, emphasizing that impersonating law enforcement officers is a crime that will not be tolerated. The incident highlights the seriousness of posing as federal agents and the potential consequences of such illegal actions.
