A video circulating online shows a man calling for action against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), urging Americans to “slide ICE” and suggesting the agency should be concerned due to its reported field agent count. He characterizes the situation as a potential “people’s takeover,” framing it as “the people versus ICE,” and expresses uncertainty about the government’s response to potential casualties. The video, originally posted by gabethegreat18 on TikTok, was shared on X (formerly Twitter) and tagged the FBI.
ICE, with a mission focused on enforcing immigration laws, has faced increasing scrutiny and criticism in recent years regarding its enforcement tactics and policies. While the claim of “less than 30,000 field agents” isn’t directly verifiable without access to ICE’s internal data, reports indicate ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) employs thousands of officers responsible for the arrest and deportation of individuals. The debate surrounding immigration enforcement and the role of ICE continues to be a contentious issue in American politics.
