Share this @internewscast.com

A nurse at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health has been terminated following the creation of videos that allegedly advocated for harming ICE agents.

“After conducting a thorough investigation, the person involved in the social media videos is no longer with VCU Health,” the hospital confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday night. “Additionally, VCU Health has complied with all reporting obligations as mandated by Virginia state law.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the hospital announced that both VCU and its Police Department were looking into the nurse’s social media activity after the posts gained significant attention on X.

“We are committed to the safety and well-being of anyone seeking our care. It has come to our attention that a series of videos, purportedly posted by one of our employees, have surfaced,” VCU informed Fox News Digital in a statement. “The video content is extremely inappropriate and does not align with the values or principles of our health system.”

“VCU Police are involved in this investigation,” the university added. “According to our policy, the individual is on administrative leave during the investigation and is restricted from entering our facilities or interacting with patients.”

The nurse in question used a now-deleted TikTok account, Redheadredemption, and was quickly identified as an employee at VCU Health. Popular X account LibsOfTikTok posted a compilation of three of the nurse’s TikTok videos on X, sparking viral outrage.

In one video, simply captioned with “#ice #resistance #sabotage,” the nurse instructed others to use a “sabotage tactic” against opponents.

“I thought of something good,” she said.

“Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end,” she said. “Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.”

Succinylcholine is an anesthetic that causes rapid, short-acting muscle paralysis. The paralytic effect typically lasts for four to six minutes.

In another video where she is dressed in scrubs, she suggests using poison ivy to infect others.

“OK for today’s resistance tip, I vote — anybody got any poison ivy, poison oak in their yard? Get some of that, with gloves, obviously, and get it in some water. Like a gallon of water. And get the poison ivy oak water and I’m going to put it into a water gun. Aim for faces, hands.”

That video was simply titled, “#resist.”

In a third video captioned “#staytoxic,” the nurse sends a message to single women, telling them to go on dates with ICE agents and spike their drinks.

“Single ladies, where these ICE guys are going, have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure,” she said. “Get on Tinder, get on Hinge, find these guys. They’re around. [If] they’re an ICE agent, bring some ex-lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. You know, nobody’s going to die. Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day. Highly, easily deniable.”

“I’m just saying, let’s get them where they eat,” she said. “Somebody’s not going to be supporting these guys. Where’s the hotel where they eat? Who makes that breakfast? Let’s find them.”

Later in the video, she said, “Let’s make their lives f—— miserable,” and directed her followers to talk with anyone who knows where ICE agents are.

“Talk to the people who work at the places where they are,” she said.
