Earlier today, in federal court in Brooklyn, former New York City Police Department (NYPD) Sergeant Atickul Islam, also known as “James W. Anderson,” pled guilty to false impersonation of an officer of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 912. Islam was charged after he falsely claimed to be a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official and directed a female victim and her family to turn themselves in at an ICE office or face “legal action” and “enforcement measures.”
