Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is promising swift and serious consequences for a man who appeared in a viral video encouraging illegal immigrants to shoot ICE agents. The video, shared by Libs of TikTok, features a former TikTok creator inciting violence against immigration officers.
Noem emphasized that once the individual is identified, he will face federal charges.
Noem warned:
“If you threaten or attempt to harm a law enforcement officer we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”

The man in the video said:
“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. The way they are pulling up with masks on, with unmarked vehicles, no badge, no nothing — it could be anybody. It could be gang members. You have every right to shoot at them. This would be the best self-defense case, you’re just in fear for your life.”
“You don’t know who’s behind that unmarked vehicle, or who’s behind that mask. This is ridiculous. What is our country coming to? Why would you want to be an ICE agent anyway? Do you like separating kids from their parents? Do you like deporting students that are studying?”
Fox News reported:
“National Border Patrol Council Vice President Hector Garza told Fox News Digital that this type of message is not only dangerous, but that it also ‘incites real-world violence.’”
Garza told the outlet:
“This kind of rhetoric is not only dangerous, it incites real-world violence and undermines the rule of law. Our agents risk their lives every day to protect this country, and they deserve to do their jobs without fear of being targeted simply for wearing the uniform.”
