With rumors of looming ICE raids as a backdrop, San Francisco police commissioners want federal immigration agents to stop "impersonating" police.

According to immigration advocacy groups, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents regularly wear jackets with the word "police" emblazoned on the back in an attempt to get voluntary consent to enter homes.

In response to reports of upcoming immigration raids, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said, “We are not in the business of deportation, we are in the business of public safety."
