Flyer Used To Impersonate OSHA

Here's the flyer that was distributed to immigrant workers in North Carolina last week to lure them into a sting operation organized by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency falsing posing as OSHA officers.

It's even more disgusting than I thought. It doesn't just say OSHA training, it actually says a briefing "sponsored by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration -- OSHA."

Isn't there a penalty for impersonating an OSHA official -- even if it's done by another government official? If not, there should be.
