OAKLAND — At last Monday night’s Oakland Raiders football game, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement — best known for targeting undocumented immigrants — turned its attention toward counterfeit sports gear instead.
The agency’s Homeland Security Investigations unit confiscated nearly $11,000 worth of fake merchandise, according to a news release.
“HSI San Francisco is committed to conducting intellectual property theft investigations throughout the year, and preventing the sale of counterfeit goods during the home opener of the Oakland Raiders is just one example of HSI working to ensure that the public is purchasing legitimate products,” Tatum King, special agent in charge of HSI San Francisco and Northern California, said in a statement.
