NJ ICE Agent: Amir Zayed of North Jersey

Last week a gang of NJ ICE agents went viral in Jersey City, NJ when they were filmed abducting several people off the streets. When asked by the person filming if they had a warrant for any of the people they were kidnapping one agent yelled “We don’t need a warrant bro”. In a later portion of the video this same agent can be seen roughing up one of the people he is in the process of kidnapping. This agent has now been positively identified as Rutgers University graduate Amir Zayed.

The video of Zayed and the other NJ ICE agents went viral for a reason, it is shocking, and their level of colonialistic violence cannot be ignored. In the video, Zayed appears to be in a position of authority, and his level of arrogance shows he views himself and other ICE agents as untouchable.

Zayed has also been spotted in Hackensack, NJ with other ICE agents, abducting New Jersey residents.

Amir Zayed is a 33 year old ICE agent originally from North Bergen, NJ. Zayed, who is a child of immigrants, is of mixed Arab (Egyptian) and Latino heritage and graduated from North Bergen High School in 2010. Zayed expressed interest in becoming a police officer since he was a teenager, and after high school he attended Rutgers University and received a degree in criminal justice.

Zayed quoted in a Rutgers student publication during his studies, stating “I completely disagree with how the cops (Norwegian) are not allowed to hold guns. As a future cop, here in the U.S. I think when it comes to national security cops everywhere need to be alert and ready about the safety of our country and of our people, so we must deal with these and any possible threats immediately and efficiently. It’s just the way the world works today”.

Zayed’s above quote is unsurprising, given how he relishes terrorizing the different immigrant communities of New Jersey with a gun.

Upon his graduation from Rutgers University Zayed pursued a career in federal law enforcement and has been in the field for around a decade. It’s not clear when Zayed moved over to ICE but he has been seen over the last few months harassing immigrant communities in North Jersey.

Amir Zayed is a danger to NJ residents and must be stopped. He cannot be allowed to destroy communities and attack our neighbors.

The following information is being released in an effort to protect NJ residents and hold ICE accountable:
