Video captured the moment when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Hialeah surrounded the home of a man accused of impersonating an agent on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to ICE, the allegation is that the man impersonated a federal official, but it does not mean he was arrested because he is in the country illegally.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Gonzalez Reyes faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault and impersonating an officer.<\/p>\n
His arrest on Sunday comes days after Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested him on state charges.<\/p>\n
Those allegations date back to July.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video obtained by NBC6 shows Gonzalez-Reyes arriving at a Miami Gardens business, with what appears to be flashing blue police lights.<\/p>\n
Investigators said he was also wearing a badge and carrying a gun.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, Gonzalez-Reyes claimed he held a top position with ICE and could help the victim with immigration issues.<\/p>\n
The victim told investigators that Gonzalez-Reyes later threatened his son, including threatening to pistol-whip him and plant drugs inside the business.<\/p>\n
Investigators also said Gonzalez-Reyes then pointed a gun toward the victim.<\/p>\n
Gonzalez-Reyes was arrested on Wednesday, and a judge found probable cause on the state charges.<\/p>\n
He bonded out of jail on Thursday.<\/p>\n
But according to ICE, the agency then contacted the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office and obtained a federal warrant, and Gonzalez-Reyes was arrested.<\/p>\n
The agency said its Office of Professional Responsibility investigates allegations of professional misconduct involving federal officials and related law enforcement personnel.<\/p>\n
Gonzalez-Reyes’ immigration status was not provided to NBC6.<\/p>\n
He has been assigned a public defender, and NBC6 has reached out to the public defender about the allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Video captured the moment when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Hialeah surrounded the home of a man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[1219,225,227,226],"class_list":["post-406067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-crime-and-courts","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
