ICE Prank Sparks Panic in Durham, NC

By M Winger | Jan 27, 2025

ICE.

Coming soon to a town near you.

And for those in Durham, NC thought it they had arrived.

Shoppers were left shaken after a fake ICE truck in the parking lot caused immigration raid rumors at Compare Foods.

Surveillance photos showed a truck sporting what looked like the ICE logo, with a driver reportedly dressed in uniform.

Turns out it was just a prank.

But why the scare? Are their illegal aliens in town?

Local News reported:

A Durham supermarket was recently targeted by a fake ICE raid.

According to a Facebook post, the hoax took place at Super Compare Foods.

The post describes a prank involving individuals in uniforms and a pickup truck resembling a border patrol vehicle.

ABC News adds:

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) — As busy shoppers grab their groceries at Compare Foods on Avondale Drive in Durham, some are a little on edge after a hoax prompted rumors of an ICE raid at the store that were not true.

Surveillance photos show the truck, and you can see what looks like the ICE logo on the side, and the store said someone driving around in uniform. It was enough to create rumors of an immigration raid at the store, but it was all a prank

Now the picture is making the rounds on social media and creating fear in the community.

Rosie De Leon, who is from Mexico, has called Durham home for 8 years. She was shopping at the store and said she has a message for the driver.“These kinds of antics only embolden people to create more panic in the public.,” she told ABC11.

Durham Police Department told ABC11 it is aware of the incident. The department said in an email: “Compare Foods management reported this to Durham Police on Thursday, January 23 along with rumors being posted online about potential ICE raids of their store. The truck involved is not an ICE vehicle. We do not have any additional information available at this time.”

In general, it is considered a crime to impersonate officers, including ICE officers.

Now, I don’t think the driver of that truck is impersonating an officer.

Their truck may look like an ICE truck but that doesn’t mean they are impersonating.

A Hispanic grocery store in Durham issued a statement saying they contacted the police about this vehicle because people apparently can’t tell it’s *not* #DHS immigrations and customs enforcement. #ICE
