A TikTok creator shared a troubling video on the widely-used social media platform, encouraging others to “open fire on ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents immediately.”
“Fire at ICE agents immediately. Yes, that’s correct. If ICE agents are attempting to capture you or a family member, fire at them immediately,” the TikTok user belal_donq stated in his clip.
The user claimed agents had been showing up in masks, unmarked vehicles, and without their badges, claiming that the agents “could be anybody.”
“Considering they’re showing up with masks, using unmarked vehicles, and lacking identification, they could be anyone. They might even be gang members. You have every legitimate reason to fire back,” he elaborated. “This would serve as the strongest self-defense argument. You’re genuinely afraid for your life. It’s impossible to identify who’s driving that unmarked vehicle or who’s wearing that mask.”

This incident comes less than a week after TikTok removed the hashtag, “#CartelTok,” from its search engine after cartel members were caught using it to highlight their crimes and recruit human smugglers.
A TikTok spokesperson told Fox News Digital that in addition to removing “#CartelTok,” from its search engine, the platform also removed “known leaders of cartels or gangs” that violated the organization’s policy.
Many of the videos in question showed cartels flashing piles of money, jewelry and luxury items that were used to entice teens in America and Mexico to smuggle illegal immigrants across the U.S. border.
Representatives for Snapchat, TikTok and Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, previously told Fox News Digital that they have policies in place to crack down on such content and remove such content when it does appear on their platforms.
Fox News Digital reached out to TikTok and ICE for comment on the video, but did not receive a response.
