  • Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents reportedly impersonated Tucson Electric Power workers on May 28 in a Tucson neighborhood while seeking undocumented residents.

  • Neighbors, including Christine Cariño, confronted the agents after suspecting their identity and warned a targeted undocumented man, who narrowly avoided detention.
  • Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs called the impersonation tactic "very concerning," said agents follow agency orders, and noted limited state legal options to intervene.
  • TEP condemned unauthorized impersonations, urged customers to check employee badges and logos, and the incident raised fears about privacy and disrupted utility worker access.
