A NYC Police officer has had enough with ICE. He calls them TEMU officers

Published by RawNews1st

In a recent raid on illegal vendors, masked ICE agents reportedly pursued vendors and protesters in a chaotic scene that prompted condemnation from some city officials.

For its part, New York City has policies in place that limit cooperation between city agencies and federal immigration enforcement.

The moniker “TEMU officers” draws a parallel between ICE agents and the online marketplace Temu, which is known for its heavily discounted, mass-produced items. The term was likely intended to criticize or mock the appearance or conduct of the agents, though the exact meaning has not been officially confirmed.

Note: Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) branch of ICE conducted 113,430 administrative arrests, with 76.1% of those having a criminal history.
