NYPD detectives mistaken for ICE, treated rudely by hospital staff after scuffle with suspect

New York City detectives were treated rudely and disrespectfully last week after they were mistaken for federal immigration agents while seeking treatment at a hospital following an arrest.

The officers went to NYU Langone/Cobble Hill Hospital in Brooklyn after a fight with a drug suspect, the New York Post reported.

"[Hospital staff] were nasty to the officers in the waiting room, accused them of being ICE, and suggested they go elsewhere," one source familiar with the incident told the newspaper.
