Former ICE agent pleads guilty in foiled Kansas escape plot

WICHITA, Kan. — A former agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has pleaded guilty to helping an inmate try to escape from a Kansas jail by impersonating an immigration officer.

Forty-two-year-old Andrew Pleviak pleaded guilty Wednesday in Kingman County District Court to making false information and attempted aiding of escape. He's also charged in federal court with false impersonation of a federal officer. Prosecutors say he falsely identified himself as an ICE agent in a foiled attempt last month to free an inmate from the Kingman County jail, about 45 miles west of Wichita. He allegedly provided a sheriff's deputy a memorandum on ICE letterhead falsely claiming the inmate was an important confidential informant and saying ICE would drop the detainer on him.

Why is this man smiling.

Why aren’t the feds prosecuting the fraudulent use of the SSN? Why did the state have to do something? State officials highlight the precedent of allowing 'unlawful workers' exemption from state prosecutions. The Feds don't want to prosecute & they don't want the states to prosecute either. So ID theft is illegal if you are a citizen & okay if you are not. No wonder outsiders think US law is a joke.
