Illegal Alien Crimes, a user on the social media platform X, announced that Edgar Garcia Cuyuch was arrested in Bergen County, New Jersey. He allegedly posed as a federal agent near a school and was charged with impersonation, trespass, and weapons violations after being found with a knife.
According to Patch, Bergen County police confirmed that a man “claiming to be a federal agent” was spotted near a school in Englewood and subsequently arrested after officers were alerted by the school district’s security team. Authorities say the suspect never entered the school building, and no shelter-in-place protocols were triggered. They emphasize that the report came from local school security, prompting a coordinated response from Englewood and Tenafly police.
As reported by NJ101.5, when officers arrested the individual in question, they located a knife on his property. This led to weapons-related charges in addition to impersonation and trespass. The article notes that the suspect faces charges of Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer, Criminal Trespass, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon. It also states that the suspect was swiftly taken into custody by Englewood and Tenafly police after the initial sighting.
While no major local news source explicitly confirms the immigration detainer status in their narratives, Illegal Alien Crimes itself states in the X post that Garcia Cuyuch “has an immigration detainer hold.” Given the serious nature of the arrest and charges, that detainer would prevent local officials from releasing him without U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) coordination.
