    Meanwhile, in Raleigh, North Carolina, Carl Thomas Bennett was arrested for allegedly impersonating an ICE officer and sexual assaulting a woman at a Motel 6 threatening to deport her if she didn’t comply, according to CNN affiliate WRAL.

    Police reports indicated that Bennett, 37, “threatened to deport the victim if she did not have sex with him,” and “displayed a business card with a badge on it,” according to WRAL.

    Ah, rape.

      See, that’s what got him caught.

      He showed some form of identification, even if fake. The real ICE would never do that.

      They may have done the other stuff but we probably wouldn’t know.
