Temple University officials have been startled by a recent arrest involving one of their students, which led to a surprising discovery. The incident involved three individuals, with two of them impersonating ICE officers while the third was recording the interactions, as reported by Temple University. The situation unfolded when university police received a report of three suspicious males claiming to be police officers and ICE personnel at an Insomnia Cookies store. Although two of the suspects quickly fled the scene in a light-colored SUV, one of them, identified as Aidan Steigelmann, was apprehended and his vehicle was towed, according to the police department. A booking photo of Steigelmann was released by the Philadelphia Police Department to document the event.
In response to the incident, Temple University has placed the involved student on interim suspension. The university emphasized that any student found responsible for such misconduct will face disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Conduct Code, which could include expulsion. The investigation into the matter is currently active and ongoing, with the two remaining suspects still at large. Notably, the suspects were observed wearing shirts with the word “Police” on the front and “ICE” on the back, as confirmed by the police department.
Authorities from the Philadelphia Police Department are urging anyone with information related to the case to come forward and report it by dialing 215-686-TIPS (8477).
