Men posing as federal agents try to get into courthouse. It didn’t work.

Three men carrying false identification were denied access to the federal courthouse in downtown Miami Thursday. They attempted to enter at multiple vehicle check-points until security guards recognized one of the men and immediately contacted deputies from the U.S. Marshals Service.

The men used badges that resembled those from three different federal agencies, including a U.S. Marshal badge, but within seconds of examining the badges, security guards knew they were fraudulent.

Once the men were detained, officers searched their vehicle and discovered other fraudulent law enforcement clothing.

One man was arrested and could face charges by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to the U.S. Marshal.

Stealing records relating to Trump properties, perhaps?

Or a local mob thing...

“...did not know if the men were armed.”

Did they bother to search them?

You could say they were (literally) identifying as marshals.

the article stated...”their car was loaded with so much fake law enforcement material in it”....

That should be a clear reminder to everyone that officers or any police or gov. officials are out there collecting this stuff to get into places and only God knows what else.

Very unsafe world today.

I think I know what these jokers are up to.

Years ago an anti-Castro Cuban hijacked a plane.

Ever since, communist Cuba and communists here in the US have been trying to whitewash Cuba’s long history of support for terrorism and training of middle eastern terrorists by citing the one example of Posada.

It’s probably a well-known Cuban activist/agent and his pals trying to pull a stunt while the press is in town this weekend to cover trump’s speech on rolling back a little of what Obama did to normalize relations.

“You can’t search a Federal agent!”

Not even criminals posing as federal agents?
I guess it would trigger them.

Then again, if these criminals self-identify as federal agents, they ARE federal agents, in liberal world, that is.

"impersonating Federal Agents"

Does political correctness allow us to use that word?

Shouldn't it be "identifying as Federal Agents?"

In fact, given the state of liberal media were they 3 "men" or 3 persons "identifying as men" - but God forbid never say the truth: "impersonating men"?

“That said, I love Miami. For short visits.”

I saw a bumper sticker reading: “Come back to Miami. We weren’t shooting at you!”
