I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 457 Mr. Councilor, you're the one who sent me (Seeking monthly votes)

"ICE?" The police officer took Wayne's ID, glanced at it, and frowned.

He then called out to those behind him, "Captain, there's an ICE officer here!"

Immediately, a police officer who was clearly in charge strode over, glanced at Wayne's badge, shrugged, and said, "So, sir, what brings you here?"

The other party is indeed the director's special advisor.

Damn it. The person in charge cursed inwardly.

This is already a very high level, corresponding to at least the deputy commissioner of the Los Angeles Police Department, someone he can't afford to mess with.

Even though ICE had some friction with various local government departments in Los Angeles, especially the police, it still tried its best to cooperate.

Moreover, in many cases, the so-called conflict between local police and ICE is more of a statement than a reality.

The Los Angeles Police Department also wants to crack down on crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.

This can at least reduce casualties among frontline police officers.

Wayne nodded and said, "It's simple. We've been investigating an illegal immigrant criminal organization recently, and I was following a lead about a Russian illegal immigrant gang, but I'm still a step too late—"

"I need to go to the site to take a look and collect some data."

As he spoke, Wayne gestured towards the car on the street corner not far away and called out, "Archie, come here."

Inside the car on the street corner, director Josh and cinematographer Archie were speechless with shock as Wayne pushed open the door and walked straight toward the police.

It's worth noting that the Los Angeles Police Department is notorious for its arrogance, domineering behavior, and brutality.

There's even a rumor that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the largest and most violent criminal organization in the Los Angeles area.

Originally, it would have been a great opportunity for them to hide here and secretly take some photos.

Who would willingly come to provoke someone?

But what shocked them even more happened next: Wayne seemed to pull out some kind of identification and give it to the police officers, who immediately became very respectful.

What exactly is going on?

What other identities does this Wayne have?!

The two immediately turned to look at Rhodes, who was driving in the car, but Rhodes had been silent from the beginning, as if all of this was to be expected.

Josh and Archie were at a loss for what to ask.

Then they encountered an even more shocking scene: Wayne actually waved to them, beckoning Archie and the others to come over!

Seeing that they couldn't hide it any longer, Josh and Archie had no choice but to pretend to be calm. They got out of the car, picked up their handheld filming equipment, walked up to Wayne, and greeted the officer somewhat awkwardly.

"Sir, this is—" the police officer in charge asked, frowning.

Wayne casually pocketed the ICE badge and said nonchalantly, "This is my assistant. I think we can go in and secure the evidence now."

As he spoke, he lifted the cordon tape in front of him and was about to walk inside.

The photographer Archie, who was next to him, immediately began to take pictures with his handheld device, capturing the fierce battle scene in the courtyard in great detail.

Seeing this, the lead officer quickly blocked Wayne's path and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sir, I'm sorry, this area is now under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Police Department. You can't just enter here—unless I receive orders from my superiors."

Wayne narrowed his eyes and said, "Captain McGonagall, I think I've made myself clear. This matter concerns our investigation into an illegal immigrant criminal organization. I need to question the survivors and gather more intelligence."

"This case concerns the president's promises to the people, and the White House's illegal immigration policy. Can you afford to delay it?!"

His voice had instantly become much stern.

Hearing this, Officer McGonagall was completely bewildered.

That's why he's unwilling to deal with ICE.

These damn ICE agents are directly responsible to the president, and they often escalate their actions to the White House level. Moreover, they act extremely arrogantly, domineeringly, and brutally.

Putting aside everything else, the two recent ICE shootings in Minnesota alone are enough to make people wary.

Moreover, the riots in Los Angeles last year were also caused by the brutal enforcement of the ICE, which ultimately led to the president deploying 2000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor's consent, causing a huge uproar.

However, he absolutely could not allow the other party to enter the scene, otherwise he would have no way to explain it to his colleagues and superiors.

That would mean the Los Angeles Police Department bowing down to ICE.

In a blue state like Los Angeles, once the truth comes out, he's finished.

Just then, Officer McGonagall's gaze fell on the ambulance parked nearby. Suddenly realizing something, she quickly said to Wayne, "Sir, since you want to question the survivor, I can tell you that the only survivor we found at the scene is in that ambulance, on his way to the hospital."

"Since you intend to question us, let's not waste any more time. Get in the car quickly; it's about to leave."

As he spoke, he pointed to the ambulance.

As the person in charge at the scene, McGonagall deliberately did not tell Wayne that the survivor was a state legislator.

Since this reckless and arrogant ICE agent wants to investigate, let him get in the car and question that state legislator.

This will certainly provoke the ire of that state legislator, leading to a conflict between the California state legislature and the ICE agency.

This arrogant director consultant will definitely get what's coming to him.

By then, it will have nothing to do with him anymore.

Sure enough, the black-haired, black-eyed ICE special advisor nodded, turned around and gave a few instructions to his two assistants before heading to the ambulance.

Just as the survivor, State Representative Jason, was being lifted into the ambulance, the ICE special advisor simply stepped into the vehicle.

At that moment, the ambulance engine started, and Wayne closed the door amidst the surprised gaze of a nurse inside.

Seeing this, Officer McGonagall couldn't help but grin; he could already imagine Wayne's humiliated state.

That was a difficult state legislator, and California legislators naturally have a strong distrust and even aversion to ICE.

Faced with questioning from an ICE agent, the congressman, already in a state of stress, would definitely swear and be extremely disgusted.

Meanwhile, inside the ambulance, Wayne looked at the nurse with scars on her face and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Luna."

He then walked up to Jason, who was lying on a makeshift medical bed wearing an oxygen mask, and bowed, saying, "Jason, my friend, we've finally met. I came tonight as agreed, but I never expected this to happen. It's truly regrettable."

Jason, still half-asleep, was startled and looked at Wayne, saying, "Who are you? ICE? What does this have to do with ICE? Get out of the car! Or I'll file a complaint with the state legislature!"

Wayne shook his head slightly and said, "No, Jason, my friend, I think we should respect each other, shouldn't we?"

"You invited me here, but you're treating me like this. This is really not the way to treat a guest. Aaron would feel uneasy if he knew."

Upon hearing Aaron's name, Congressman Jason's eyes widened, and he stared at Wayne in disbelief.

Then his mind began to race, and he felt that the man in front of him looked very familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered who the person in front of him was. He trembled all over and murmured, "It's you—you're—you're Bruce Wayne! What are you doing here? What is this—"

In that instant, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a huge web of conspiracy, and his whole being was enveloped by indescribable fear!
