A TikTok user, identified as “mr.floridajhit,” is facing scrutiny after a video surfaced on his account threatening ICE agents with a $50,000 cartel bounty. The video, captioned “ICE We’re on the way. Word in the streets cartels put a $50k bounty on y’all,” was later deleted after gaining traction, particularly after it was shared on X and picked up by the Trump administration. Now, the user claims he is the victim of a hack and attempting to portray himself as wrongly targeted.
Despite the video’s origin on his account, “mr.floridajhit” is alleging that the Trump administration is unfairly targeting him. This claim has been met with skepticism, given the explicit threat made in the video and his subsequent attempt to distance himself from it by claiming a hack. The incident highlights the complexities of online accountability and the potential for misinformation and denial in the digital age, particularly when sensitive topics such as immigration enforcement and cartel activity are involved.
