On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency decided to post a request on X to perpetuate and promote the Trump administration narrative that Black and brown immigrants are all dangerous criminals that need to be eliminated.
In an attempt to rouse public fears and insecurities, the official ICE account on X posted:
"Contact us if you were harmed by an alien."

The responses were probably not what ICE wanted, but they were exactly what many weary worldwide netizens needed.
More than a few reported a certain South African.

Some pushed back on the xenophobia and racism of the Trump administration's propaganda posts.

But most just mocked ICE.

As entertaining as the responses were, the message from ICE was clear. They intend to continue to vilify the immigrants the Trump administration wants removed and kept out of the United States.
Not because they're dangerous or unable to contribute to society, but because Trump and his MAGA movement are terrified of becoming the racial minority in the country.
