A DC judge is denying federal prosecutors motion to detain the two men impersonating federal agents because he says he isn t convinced that there are links to Pakistan intelligence
The apartment unit belonging to one of the two men arrested last week for impersonating DHS agents was searched by Metro Police officers last year, but the cops left without taking any action.
A motion for detention of the two men who were arrested Wednesday for impersonating federal agents includes a slew of damning evidence, including images showing several passports and IDs.
Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Sher-Ali, 36 - both U.S. citizens - began in February 2020 to claim they were members of the Secret Service, using fake websites and props to convince others.
One of the men allegedly posing as a Homeland Security agent has shared images to his Instagram showing him next to actor Bradley Cooper and comedian Seth Meyers.
