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.
