DHS Allegedly Posted Fake Caption on Black TikTok Creator’s Video Saying They Threatened ICE



The clip, which appeared on DHS’s official X account, showed a group of young men standing on a field with a caption reading: “ICE we’re on the way. Word in the streets cartels put a $50K bounty on y’all.”



The alarming message quickly went viral, but users soon discovered it was doctored. The original creator, known on TikTok as @mrfloridajhit, says he never posted that caption and that his account had been hacked.

In a statement on his Instagram Story, he wrote:

“I did not post that video or the caption on that video. My account was hacked… I have no clue how they were able to get that video.”

He later uploaded another video explaining that the clip was originally part of a TikTok trend about Iran, not ICE or law enforcement. He said it was meant as creative content and not a threat.

...let me make this fucking clear.

Kristi Noem's gang of anti-American thugs took a PATRIOTIC video made by these young black men; made in ostensive support of the Trump airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities (maybe too patriotic, lol), and manipulated that same video's captions to state a THREAT to ICE agents based on the administration's unverified claim of a Mexican or other source's $50k bounty on ICE agents.

...here's a screenshot of his original vid:

...Ben Meiselas with a powerful report on this.

MUST WATCH:

2. right. Noem is doubling down on the bounty story, and leaving this disinfo floating

...as fascist as the most fascist fascist in fascism's history.

3. Joy-Ann Reid: "They've weaponized antiblackness"

“They essentially used this man’s video to create a fake threat against ICE from young Black men,” Reid said.

“They’ve weaponized antiblackness; they’ve weaponized a lie that these federal agents are being threatened and that there’s a bounty on their heads. And they’re using antiblackness in order to create this fake sense of threat.”

Joy-Ann Reid calls out DHS for AI-generated video of Black men threatening ICE

Journalist and former MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid is sounding alarm bells over a recent post from the Department of Homeland Security’s Instagram.

DHS posted a TikTok on its X account of a group of young Black men threatening to hunt down ICE agents in exchange for a bounty. In the caption, the government agency wrote, “FAFO. If you threaten or lay hands on our enforcement officers, we will hunt you down and you will find out, really quick. We’ll see you cowards soon.”

However, the video is AI-generated. However, the video is AI-generated. And it is stolen from an actual TikTok user who never threatened ICE.

“They essentially used this man’s video to create a fake threat against ICE from young Black men,” Reid said.

“They’ve weaponized antiblackness; they’ve weaponized a lie that these federal agents are being threatened and that there’s a bounty on their heads. And they’re using antiblackness in order to create this fake sense of threat.”
