Sept 27, 2026 - Antonia Hylton for MS NOW. Here it is on YouTube: These ICE officers were anonymous. Until one man sued. - MS NOW - Sept 27, 2026 (YouTube)

The officers are Nicholas Ryan Lapointe and Christopher John Semler.

From MS NOW’s description: Masked ICE officers. Two John Does. One lawsuit. ~:~ Robert Peck says the officers threatened him with arrest as he documented their activity in Maine. Now, a court filing identifies them by name. DHS told MS NOW in a statement that “ICE stresses integrity and ethical behavior, and the vast majority of ICE employees perform their duties with professionalism and honor.” ~:~ The allegations remain unresolved. But the officers are no longer anonymous.
