Actual agents: "Seems legit"

Reminds me of the EPA guy who pretended to be a CIA agent: https://www.epa.gov/office-inspector-general/oig-news-release-former-epa-official-sentenced-32-months-prison-defrauding

I see the police exemptions for gun laws came in handy

The moment when someone thinks "wait a minute..."

......

"In one image posted on NGUYEN’s [LinkedIn] account, NGUYEN was posing in a suit and tie, wearing what appears to be an HSI badge lapel pin."

LOL

"In October 2014, Smith received a call from base security forces asking if AMOC had changed the format of their ID cards."

"I reviewed each of the DROS forms and found seven firearm sales containing a copy of a fake DHS ID card bearing NGUYEN’s name and photo inside a leather DHS credential holder."

LOOOOOOOL

"Siviglia also told Rojas that NGUYEN had lights and sirens installed in his personal vehicle, a grey Toyota Tacoma"

Uhhhh

"NGUYEN filed a complaint against VMS employee Rick Yates after Yates told other VMS employees that NGUYEN was not actually an HSI SA."

"On one occasion, NGUYEN implied that he was executing a warrant when he sent Rojas a photo of different law enforcement officers entering a home with the messages, 'Alphabet Soup! Child prostitution raid.'"

Uhhhhhh

“Did I scare you, Martinez?”

"NGUYEN would often make statements about 'kicking in doors,' indicating he had been executing search warrants."

"Yates recalled an incident about two years ago at Laguna Woods Village in which a resident made threats and was believed to have a gun. Yates said NGUYEN 'geared up' in his tactical gear, including a tactical vest and gun in a thigh holster."

"NGUYEN would typically be fully 'tacted out,' wearing tactical gear on these occasions."

"SA Figueroa stated that DSS allowed NGUYEN to participate in executing the warrant only because DSS agents believed NGUYEN was an HSI SA. Among other things, NGUYEN was the first person to open the door to the premises being searched before DSS SAs entered."
