I know the ICE are modern time stasi psykos, but the problem of definitively identifying a person is actually fairly difficult when you trust nothing from the person themselves.

If you have a person in custody and you don't trust what they say is true, you don't trust the documents they have are authentic...how do you then determine who they actually are?
