‘You’re going back’ – Fake immigration agent charged for detaining Latino men and threatening to deport them

A South Carolina man has been charged with posing as a fake immigration agent in a traffic stop.

The man, identified as Sean Michael Johnson, detained a group of Latino men in a vehicle and took their keys so they couldn’t drive home.

He was arrested after turning himself into the Sullivan’s Island Police Department last Friday.

Johnson is charged with felony kidnapping, impersonating a law enforcement officer, larceny, and third-degree assault and battery after a video on social media went viral of Johnson allegedly impersonating an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer earlier this week.

During the video, Johnson says to the occupants of the car “you got caught where are you from, Mexico? you’re going back.” At one point in the video, Johnson appears to take the driver’s keys so he couldn’t leave.

In court, the public defender said Johnson was extremely sorry for his actions.

His family says they know he has mental health and alcohol issues and they want to help him receive the treatment he needs, therefore they asked the judge to grant Johnson bond.

“He turned himself in your honor, and I can guarantee he is not going to be a flight risk and he’s not a danger to the community.”

The judge responded by stating she is mindful of his need for treatment but is also “mindful of the indicia of danger to others is certainly there by those two charges.”

The judge said in an effort to help Johnson seek treatment she would grant him bond. Johnson was given a $20,000 bond for kidnapping, a $10,000 bond for impersonating a law enforcement officer, a nearly $2,000 bond for assault and $500 bond for petty larceny.
Johnson is expected to appear in court next on March 4 on Sullivans Island.

This comes amid a crackdown on illegal immigration as part of the Trump administration’s new orders.

Some operatives of Agunechemba are armed robbers, kidnappers – Soludo’s security aide

‎
‎The Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on community security, Ken Emeakayi, has lamented the alleged infiltration of criminally – minded people into the state’s newly established Agunechemba security outfit.
‎
‎
‎Reacting to reports that some operatives of Agunechemba are now extorting people, using guns, Emeakayi said that every member of the outfit would be properly verified, to fish out the bad ones in the system.
‎
‎He also warned about the improper conduct of some of the operatives who act as if they were above the law, adding that a situation whereby they extort people they are expected to protect, is unacceptable.
‎
‎He said, “The reason the governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, established Agunechemba and Operation Udo ga achi, is to drive away criminals in the state. It is not for the operatives to start tormenting people they are expected to protect.
‎
‎“We have found out that some of the people work as Agunechemba during the day and become kidnappers and armed robbers at night
‎
‎“Some of the operatives claim that they have not been paid and that is because they have refused to present themselves for verification as required by law. They have been dodging from this verification exercise since January.
‎
‎”Those who want to be paid should go for profiling to enable us know if they are actually members of Agunechemba and to ensure that they do not have questionable character.
‎
‎“Very soon, anybody who claims to be a security operative in any community in Anambra State without subjecting himself to the profiling process, will be treated like a criminal because such a person has something to hide.
‎
‎“The Anambra State Homeland Security law is very clear on the issue of knowing where every gun in the state is at any point in time and those keeping them.
‎
‎We must know the full identity of everyone who claims to be a security operative in the state.
‎
‎
‎“We are, therefore, pleading that people should be alert and expose any shortcoming they discover on the part of the operatives.”
