What tactics is ICE using to trick illegal immigrants and arrest them?
One of the eyewitnesses told the New York Post that on Wednesday morning, two individuals wearing electric company attire appeared in a south Tucson neighbourhood, inquiring about a Honduran resident who had lived there for more than ten years, as reported by the Arizona Daily Star.

The individuals identified themselves as Tucson Electric Power (TED) representatives and informed neighbours they were responding to the man's request for city services, according to witness Christine Cariño.
"He said, 'We're trying to find somebody that wanted a free estimate,'" stated Cariño, who was tending to her plants nearby.
Cariño noted their attire didn't match standard TED uniforms - one wore a reflective work shirt whilst the other had on a black t-shirt.
She became wary when they persistently questioned her about her neighbour. Upon noticing a badge beneath one man's shirt, she questioned their DHS affiliation.
"He just smiled. So I took off running," Cariño said.
After the men gained access to the Honduran resident's garden through his stepson, Cariño began alerting them.
"Don't open the door, they don't have a warrant!" she shouted, as captured in footage obtained by KGUN 9. "They're lying, they're not in a uniform!"
Without a warrant, immigration officials require occupant consent to enter premises.
Cariño suggests these individuals misrepresented themselves to gain entry.
The agents, speaking through the door, claimed the Honduran had missed immigration court appointments, which he contested before refusing to exit.
Similar tactics have reportedly been employed nationwide by immigration officials, previously challenged as unconstitutional in a 2020 ACLU California complaint, which remains unresolved.
Anther case from Dellas came where ICE agents , reportedly in plain clothes, wait in the hallways of Dallas immigration court to make arrests.

Ghislaine Maxwell Reveals ‘100 Different People' Linked To Epstein Under Immunity Deal: Report
Last Updated: Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions about 100 people linked to Epstein during a two-day interrogation. Serving a 20-year sentence, she seeks clemency from President Trump. Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney for the disgraced socialite claimed that she answered questions from Justice Department officials about around '100 different people" connected to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, following a two-day interrogation led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, where she was granted limited immunity. According to David Oscar Markus, his client, currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in Manhattan of federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in December 2021, was 'asked about every possible thing you could imagine – everything." 'This was the first opportunity she's ever been given to answer questions about what happened," Markus added. 'The truth will come out about what happened with Epstein, and she's the person who's answering those questions." Blanche had 'every single question" answered during the sitdown, Maxwell's attorney also said, with the British-born convict declining to plead the Fifth Amendment, the New York Post reported. 'If she lies, they could charge her with lying," Markus noted. A reporter countered, 'But didn't they charge her with lying?" referencing the two perjury counts that were later dropped by the prosecution after her conviction. 'No one is above the law — and no lead is off-limits," Blanche posted on X Tuesday in announcing he would speak with Maxwell, the NYP reported. Maxwell, 63, is currently appealing her conviction and sentence, leading some legal observers to speculate that her cooperation may be an attempt to secure clemency from President Trump. Her attorney described the commander in chief Friday as 'the ultimate dealmaker" and claimed his client had 'been treated unfairly for the past five years" and 'didn't get a fair trial." 'We hope he exercises that power in a right and just way," Markus added. Trump, after landing in Glasgow, Scotland, told reporters that 'I don't know anything about the conversation" between Blanche and Maxwell because 'I haven't really been following it." 'This is no time to be talking about pardons," the president added after saying hours earlier while leaving the White House, that 'I haven't thought" about the idea. According to ABC News, Maxwell reportedly initiated the sitdowns with the DOJ and answered questions for roughly nine hours. The limited immunity granted to Maxwell protected her from having her statements used against her in future criminal proceedings, sources told the outlet. Proffer immunity is typically granted to individuals prosecutors want cooperation from in a criminal case. The Department of Justice, in 2022, questioned Maxwell's credibility, stating in court documents that she demonstrated a 'significant pattern of dishonest conduct" and refused to accept responsibility for her crimes. As per court documents, the prior year revealed that prosecutors never seriously entertained the prospect of offering the woman dubbed 'Epstein's madam" a plea agreement after the financier was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting his federal trial on Aug. 10, 2019. Markus noted that Epstein's attorneys had been informed that 'no potential co-conspirators would be prosecuted" as part of his talks with government lawyers following his July 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges. 'I don't think President Trump knows that the Justice Department took the position that that promise should not be upheld," he claimed. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi hinted in a February Fox News interview that federal investigation files on Epstein, including an alleged 'client list" of powerful associates, would be disclosed – but the release never materialised.
