Amazon selling fake immigration officer jackets, sparks outrage online

A video posted by The Good Liars on X has gained 2.3 million views, drawing attention to a troubling trend: authentic-looking ICE jackets are being sold online. In the video, Jason Selvig, one half of the satirical duo, interviews a man at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) who is wearing an official-looking ICE jacket despite having no affiliation with the agency.
Jason starts by asking, “Do you actually work for ICE?” to which the man immediately responds, “No, not at all.” When asked to “Explain the outfit,” the man goes into a casual rant, revealing that he bought the jacket on Amazon for just $29.99. He even recommends sizing down because the one he purchased was a bit loose.
The conversation takes a disturbing turn when he says, “If you want some entertainment, go to a sanctuary city like where I live—Washington, D.C.—and see all of the illegals. Not all, but a lot of them run away.”
Jason then asks, “Do you think this is funny?” The man responds, “I think it is hilarious. What’s not funny is them illegally—” but before he can finish, the video cuts off. Jason ends with his own comment: “One of the worst people I have seen at CPAC, and that is saying something.”

People in the comment section were outraged by the man's audacity. One user said, "Impersonating a law enforcement officer is illegal, the @FBI should run facial recognition on this guy and lock his ass up." Another commented, "Imagine being such a low-life that you buy an ICE outfit to scare people. What has this world become?"
This video is not just any other video. It poses a very difficult situation in front of the authorities at a time when ICE has gained increased power under President Donald Trump’s second term.
As per media reports, the controversial ICE-style jacket, available on Amazon for $29.99 in black or navy, has quickly risen to the top of the site’s men’s military outerwear category. While it may seem like just another piece of clothing, its popularity has sparked serious concerns, especially within immigrant communities. With reports of individuals impersonating federal agents already surfacing, the fear is not just hypothetical—it’s real.
In Philadelphia, Temple University police are investigating an alarming case involving two students who allegedly posed as ICE officers.
On February 1, three individuals attempted to enter a Temple University residence hall, with two wearing “Police” and “ICE” shirts. Denied access, they later caused a disturbance at a nearby business. One suspect, 22-year-old Aidan Steigelmann, was arrested for impersonating a public servant and suspended by the university, while the others fled.
In another case on January 29, 33-year-old Sean-Michael Johnson was arrested in Charleston County, South Carolina, for kidnapping and impersonating an ICE agent. He allegedly detained a group of Latino men on Sullivan’s Island, an act captured on video by one of the victims.
With ICE gaining more authority under President Donald Trump’s second term, fears surrounding impersonation are only growing. Meanwhile, immigrant communities and advocacy groups continue to raise concerns about the potential misuse of these jackets and the real dangers that come with them.
