ICE agent arrested in sex trafficking sting told police, "I’m ICE, boys"
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement worker was among 16 men arrested in a Minnesota trafficking investigation that targeted individuals seemingly attempting to solicit a minor for sex, police said.
Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said at a news conference on Tuesday that the three-day "Operation Creep" began on November 5 and focused on identifying people seeking to purchase sex from a 17-year-old girl.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."
Not a good look for an already controversial organization.
