Police at Temple University in Philadelphia are investigating after two students allegedly impersonated U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at a business on campus over the weekend.

FOX 29 in Philadelphia reported that two people impersonated ICE agents while a third person recorded them.

Temple University campus police said they received reports that people were impersonating ICE officers at Insomnia Cookies on Cecil B. Moore Avenue Saturday night.

The suspects were wearing shirts with “ICE” and “POLICE” in white lettering, and one of the suspects was reportedly recording the incident.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Temple University for additional information on the matter.

“It is deeply troubling and disappointing to know behavior like this reportedly occurred on our campus,” Temple police said.

On Tuesday, the campus public safety division provided an update, informing the campus community that all three people involved had been identified.

The suspects were identified as two students who are now under interim suspension and a former student no longer affiliated with the university.

“As stated in a previous email to the Temple community on Sunday, impersonating law enforcement officers is a crime,” the public safety division said Tuesday. “This behavior and harassment of Temple community members will not be tolerated.”

The statement also noted that neither Temple’s Department of Public Safety nor the Philadelphia Police Department had any reports of federal ICE agents being on campus.
