Indian student duped by fake immigration officials in US, loses $5,000: Report
An Indian student in the US was scammed out of USD 5,000 (approx Rs 4.29 lah) by individuals posing as federal immigration officers, Newsweek Bedi, a UI Designer pursuing her master's degree, told Newsweek she was deceived by scammers posing as officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Bedi came to the US on an F-1 visa in 2022 to pursue a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction at Indiana University May 29, Bedi received a phone call from someone claiming to be an officer with ICE. The scammer told her that she hadn't reported her administration number and convinced her that she was violating immigration laws. This pressured her into purchasing USD 5,000 worth of gift cards as "bond" payments to avoid arrest and deportation. 'I was absolutely terrified and crying the entire time,' Bedi caller identified himself with a name and badge number, instructing Bedi to verify his identity through ICE's official website. She found that the phone number matched a legitimate ICE office in Maryland, seemingly confirming the call's authenticity. But it was part of an elaborate scam escalated when a second caller, spoofing a number from the Olympia Police Department, claimed there was an active warrant for her arrest unless ICE confirmed her case was under investigation. The callers instructed Bedi to stay on the phone and warned her not to contact anyone, claiming her phone was being kept me on the phone for three hours straight, repeatedly warning me that hanging up or contacting anyone would make things worse,' Bedi said. 'I felt completely trapped.'Under pressure and fearing deportation, Bedi followed their instructions, purchasing USD 5,000 worth of Apple and Target gift cards and sharing the codes over the phone. The scammers told her a police officer would collect the cards and bond papers the next day. That call never was only later that day, after speaking with a friend who found similar scam stories online, that Bedi realised she had been defrauded.'They put me through hours of psychological torture, making me believe I was going to be deported and arrested,' she made the scam believable, Bedi noted, was how much personal information the callers had: her port of entry, educational background, and even specific details about her hometown in emotional and financial toll has been severe for Bedi. Already managing student loan debt, she now faces an additional USD 5,000 in credit card payments. 'I'm living alone in the US with no family support. This money was supposed to help me stay afloat and plan my future here. It completely derailed my plans,' she ICE spokesperson told Newsweek, "ICE strongly condemns the impersonation of its officers or agents. This action is not only dangerous, but illegal. Imposters can be charged with various criminal offences both at the state/local level, and federally (under 18 USC 912)."Bedi has since launched a GoFundMe campaign and is sharing her story to warn other international students. 'You always have the right to hang up and call a lawyer. No legitimate government agency will ever ask for gift cards or sensitive personal details over the phone,' she said.'As international students, we don't fully understand how the system works here, which makes us easy targets. I feel embarrassed that I fell for this, but I want others to learn from my mistake,' she Donald Trump's administration, ICE has ramped up arrests across the country. Amid increased enforcement action, there has also been a rise in reports of individuals impersonating ICE agents. IN THIS STORY#United States of America

FBI chief's 'hit a cop, you're going to jail' warning sparks online outrage
FBI Director Kash Patel faced backlash after issuing a stern warning to anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles, cautioning that anyone assaulting cops or taking the law into their own hands would face jail time. "Hit a cop, you're going to jail. Doesn't matter where you came from, how you got here, or what movement speaks to you. If the local police force won't back our men and women on the thin blue line, we @FBI will," Patel had posted on X, warning the demonstrators after a wave of surprise immigration raids in Los Angeles on Friday triggered citywide protests, tense standoffs with police, and dozens of Social media users took a quick note of Kash Patel's warning to the protesters and hit back at the FBI chief, calling him out for the federal agency's different stance taken on the January 6 rioters, with one user saying, "unless you're doing it for Trump". Another user accused him of "overrunning an election".Most of the January 6 rioters were relieved of charges by US President Donald Trump after he took office for the second time this issued "full, complete and unconditional" pardons for around 1,500 people involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. The group included individuals convicted of violent acts. The move saw Trump fulfilling a campaign promise within the first few hours of his second online tirade against Kash Patel's stern warning continued as another user wrote, "But if you do it wearing Trump merch while rioting at the US Capitol, you'll get a pardon, right, Kash?" More people joined Patel's online bashing, with some of them sharing pictures and videos of rioters clashing with police on January 6, Kash Patel distanced himself from the pardoning of Capitol riots accused during his confirmation hearing as FBI director, saying, "I have always rejected any violence against law enforcement, and I have included in that group specifically addressed any violence against law enforcement on January 6"."I do not agree with the commutation of any sentence of any individual who committed violence against law enforcement," he from Patel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also invited online ire for writing that the anti-ICE protests are "designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from US soil". Hegseth added, "a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK".The Los Angeles raids were part of a broader push by the Trump administration to ramp up deportation efforts nationwide. Trump has vowed record-level removals of undocumented migrants, and White House aide Stephen Miller has reportedly urged ICE to make at least 3,000 arrests Watch

Trump Deploys National Guard to LA Over Newsom's Objections
National Guard troops began arriving in Los Angeles on Sunday under orders from President Donald Trump, escalating a showdown with California leaders who say the federal deployment is politically driven and unnecessary. The move follows two days of tense protests sparked by sweeping US immigration raids across the region. Trump directed US Northern Command to assume control of the California National Guard and dispatch 2,000 soldiers to the area 'for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense,' the White House said in a statement. Governor Gavin Newsom, who said he was not consulted on the decision, condemned the deployment as an overreach by Trump meant to stoke tensions. 'The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate,' the Democrat wrote in a post on X. 'That is not the way any civilized country behaves.' The troops, from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, were seen arriving at a federal building in downtown LA early Sunday, according to footage aired by KABC. US Northern Command confirmed the deployment on X, saying it was mobilizing Guard units 'to support federal law enforcement.' Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Marines could be sent next if protests intensify. Newsom called Hegseth's suggestion of deploying the Marines from nearby Camp Pendleton 'deranged.' Hegseth on Sunday countered that Newsom had allowed violence to get out of hand. 'Deranged = allowing your city to burn & law enforcement to be attacked,' Hegseth said in a post on X. 'There is plenty of room for peaceful protest, but ZERO tolerance for attacking federal agents who are doing their job. The National Guard, and Marines if need be, stand with ICE.' ICE has pledged to continue ramping up arrests as authorities carry out Trump's promise to oversee the largest deportation effort in US history. The president has also threatened to cut off federal funding to California after disputes over immigration, transgender issues and allegations of antisemitism on college campuses. The LA Police Department closed streets and a metro station late Saturday after clashes near a detention center where people apprehended by federal and local authorities were detained. The site is near the building where the National Guard troops were seen arriving in trucks. 'All the people approaching the Metropolitan Detention Center on foot or in a vehicle are subject to arrest,' the LD said on X late Saturday. 'Leave the area!!' More than 1,000 protesters surrounded a federal building in downtown LA on Friday, and additional demonstrations broke out Saturday in Compton and Paramount, south of the city. Local media reported tear gas and flash-bang grenades deployed to disperse the crowds. Immigration advocates have been holding regular peaceful protests in downtown LA against Trump's enforcement crackdown, with one planned for Sunday at 2 p.m. local time. In an interview with NBC News, Trump border czar Tom Homan defended the National Guard deployment, saying Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass should be thanking the president for helping to restore order. Homan warned the leaders could face arrest if they obstruct immigration enforcement efforts. The White House said the National Guard was being deployed to protect federal personnel and property, including immigration detention centers, citing what Trump described as credible threats of violence that could obstruct enforcement efforts and 'constitute a form of rebellion' against the US government. But the legal basis for the decision could face challenges. Federal law strictly limits the deployment of federal troops within US borders. The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, along with amendments and supporting regulations, generally bars the use of the active-duty U.S. military — the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines — from carrying out domestic law enforcement. The law doesn't apply to state-controlled National Guard forces. With assistance from María Paula Mijares Torres.
