North Dakota sheriff calls release of inmate to ICE impersonator ‘perfect storm’
A mix-up at the Williams County Jail led to a brief but embarrassing escape when a man posing as an ICE agent walked in and took custody of an inmate—no questions asked. Sheriff Varlan Kvande calls it a “perfect storm” of timing and assumptions, as the real ICE agent arrived just minutes too late.
The sheriff stands by his staff, calling it a wake-up call rather than a failure. The inmate was quickly recaptured, and the impersonator now faces charges. The lesson? Trust is good, but verification is better. Matt Henson with the Dickinson Press has the full story.
