Gerardo Rodriguez, 46, was known by neighbors to be an agent employed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Patrol, said Greg Kirakosian, a lawyer representing the teenager. An ICE spokesperson wrote that Rodriguez is not employed by the agency. A CBP spokesperson said in a statement: “This matter is under investigation.”
The teenager had driven by Rodriguez’s home in Temecula to drop friends off at a nearby house at around 10 p.m. on Nov. 10, Kirakosian said. When he drove back he was stopped by Rodriguez, who pulled a gun. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department was dispatched at around 10:40 p.m., according to a news release.
Every agent that’s gotten into trouble on duty I’ve seen were classified as a civilian detail working alongside the federal agents. Probably so they don’t have to take accountability for their training or actions.
According to this, he isn’t ice. But then again, ICE isn’t exactly open about who actually works there.

Of not employed by ice, that explains why he was arrested.
Didn’t really expect them to own it
“is not” Hmm. What about “was not”? Did they fire him so they could say is not? Is he a contractor? A merc?

What fucking bullshit!
It depends what you mean by “is”.
That sums up any armed forces, really.
