Earlier today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that there are disturbing reports of people impersonating Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents. The importers knock on doors in the Houston area telling residents to evacuate -- presumably so that they can rob the empty homes. DHS wants to remind individuals that real HSI officials wear badges that are labeled "special agent," which members of the public can ask to see and verify. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers with Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) also wear badges labeled with ERO Officer. They also carry credentials with their name and organization. Members of the public who receive such visitors should ask to see these properly labeled badges, and their credentials.
In addition, DHS announced that these officers and special agents would be conducting hurricane relief operations with other local law enforcement agencies, and that during Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, ICE is not conducting immigration enforcement operations in the affected area.
