Man makes video urging people to ‘shoot at ICE agents on sight’

A TikTok user recently posted a controversial video on the popular social media platform, urging people to “shoot at ICE agents on sight.” The user, belal_donq, claimed that ICE agents have been showing up in masks, unmarked vehicles, and without their badges, which he argued made them appear as potential threats.

In the video, belal_donq stated, “Shoot at ICE agents on sight. That’s right. If ICE agents are trying to take you or a loved one, shoot them on sight.” He went on to express his concerns about the agents’ tactics, emphasizing that they could be anyone under the disguise of their uniforms.

The user questioned the motives of ICE agents, asking why anyone would want to be part of the organization that separates families and deports innocent individuals. He likened their approach to that of the Mafia and suggested that shooting them could be seen as an act of self-defense.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem responded to the video, promising to take action against the individual who posted it. Noem emphasized that threatening or harming law enforcement officers would not be tolerated and would result in prosecution.

National Border Patrol Council Vice President Hector Garza condemned the video, highlighting the dangers of such messages that incite real-world violence. He called for social media platforms to take swift action against content promoting violence, emphasizing the importance of upholding the rule of law.

The incident occurred shortly after TikTok removed the hashtag “#CartelTok” from its search engine due to cartel members using it to showcase their crimes and recruit human smugglers. The platform also removed known leaders of cartels or gangs that violated its policies.

Representatives for various social media platforms, including TikTok, Snapchat, and Meta, have stated that they have measures in place to address such content and remove it when necessary. Fox News Digital reached out to TikTok and ICE for comment on the video but did not receive a response.

In conclusion, the video posted by belal_donq sparked controversy and raised concerns about inciting violence against law enforcement officers. The response from officials and calls for action against such content underscore the importance of promoting safety and respect on social media platforms.
