A man is behind bars for allegedly impersonating an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The 37-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a motel over the weekend.
The Motel 6 located on Appliance Court in Raleigh is the site of the reported rape on Sunday.
Arrest warrants say Carl Bennett went to the location and committed a number of crimes, including multiple sex offenses.
Bennett, according to the arrest documents, threatened to deport the victim if she did not have sex with him. He allegedly displayed a business card with a badge on it.
“This is kind of a perfect storm, what’s happening right now, and it’s opening up opportunities for people who are not doing any kind of law enforcement to take advantage of people in terrible ways,” Nikki Baena, of Siembra NC, said.
Siembra NC is a grassroots organization focused on defending the rights of immigrants.
Baena said people are preying on the sense of fear that some immigrants have with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She’s not surprised by allegations of intimidation through impersonation, given the current political climate.
“People wouldn’t be surprised that an ICE agent acted in an inappropriate way because they often do act in an inappropriate ways to get information out of people,” Baena alleged.
Raleigh police didn’t share the race or immigration status of the victim who was involved.
Bennett is charged with multiple sex crimes.

Everything is racist, therefore nothing is racist. You race baiting losers have made that word meaningless with your loser gay ass race baiting.

It's a shame you didn't supply news sourced which weren't tainted with bias in their recent publication history on such matters but yup, this is exactly as predicted once genuine ICE agents started using violence in plain clothes, and with face covering, at events caught on news cameras elsewhere
When genuine ICE agents storm courtrooms and remove people involved in trial litigation without identifying themselves or providing warrants they are, of course, going to be copied by the opportunistic seeking to use that as cover for whatever their motivations are.
It's only going to continue escalating until Hugo Boss, or someone like them, creates a uniform which establishes authority and presence and anyone trying to copy it gets the same treatment as the illegal immigrants intended to be punished for their being somewhere where they are not wanted.
One side will blame Trump, the other Biden but the outcomes were always going to be the same regardless.
Robodog cops are next up. Just watch

The thing is when ICE agents started going plain clothed and covering their faces (And not producing ID for 'fear for their families') it was a clear case of anyone can claim to be one and not need to show it.
The 'authority' of isms was now kaput. Might was right again and people were too afraid to challenge it.
It's all been caused to allow for an authoritarian state. All of it. Harris, Trump, censorship, divided communities.
I'd think less of the criminal class if they didn't exploit it to the fullest and let these 'politicians' see what they had been elected to do the entire time.
But let's get back to our regular programming of who says "Cope and seethe" this week

Yep. Police have received calls about kidnappings in progress when it turned out to be ICE agents, because that's what it looks like when masked people who don't show identification nor a warrant go around grabbing people off the street (or their backyard or wherever else).

It's what the Stasi did with the gestapo back in WWII
In this case the Stasi is the 'Deep state' and the gestapo are the 'Ice agents'.
But once they've rounded up the illegal immigrants they won't stop.
Not had the latest jab? Time for a visit from the friendly neighbourhood peace keepers
But why think about tomorrow when we can talk about "Two scoops" or whatever else today

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. -

That's the one Crystal
Only this time they've rounded up everyone to be both the bad guys and the remedy to the bad guys.
So pick your poison; antifa or the good ol' boys, incels or feminists. You have to be one or the other, otherwise you get labelled and have no choice in the matter, you bigot.
And then while everyone is on Reddit or Facebook liking or downvoting things which will give them social capital amongst their peers their bank accounts disappear, credit scores drop and people are incommunicado - with nobody helping them for fear for the same happening to them.
Big tragic event occurs, people are shocked. Everyone unifies and tries to get back to 'normal'. What can we learn to not let that happen again. Liberties gone and less of a workforce required but more spending is needed from those keeping the economy turning over.
Hold back, repeat but go harder this time. Adapt slightly as need be.
But, and this is the best part. Filmboards will always be here and the same conversation can continue for another ten years unhindered by anything which goes on in the world
It's quite the trick, isn't it?
