University students make up as ice cream aid in Failed ‘Raid’ in dormitory, but campus prank is no joke for police

A trio of Temple University students stood as false federal immigration agents at Philadelphia -Campus this weekend -and neither police nor school officials thought the stunt was fun.

One of the students identified by Fox Affiliate WTXF-TV News As 22-year-old Aidan Steigelmann was indicted to emulate a public employee and suspended from the university.

Two other students who were not identified are now under investigation, the school said.

“To imitate the law enforcement authorities is a crime,” school Officials said in a statement Saturday. “This behavior and harassment of members of Temple Community will not be tolerated.

“The Philadelphia Police Department and Temple University Police quickly responded to the events and started a criminal investigation,” the statement states. “PPD is the leading investigation agency and TUPD actively helps to collect information.”

According to the school, two students wearing shirts were marked “police” and “ice” discovered on campus shortly after 7 p.m. 22.00 Saturday with a third shooting video of their meetings.

They tried to get into one of the dormitories but were turned away – with police arriving on the stage.

It is unclear whether the other two students were questioned or remain loose.

“It is deeply worrying and disappointing to know behavior like this allegedly happened on campus,” states the university’s statement.

The astonishing stunt comes as federal immigration agents carry out massive deportation attacks across the country and raise tensions in some communities and university campuses.

In a report last week, WTXF said one Philadelphia Car Wash was assaulted of ICE agents.

But in their statement, Temple officials said no legitimate ice activity has found on campus.
