Trump administration mocks detained migrants in Halloween videos featuring ICE arrests
Trump's administration shared Halloween videos mocking detained migrants and celebrating US military operations.
President Donald Trump's administration commemorated Halloween on Saturday with a series of aggressive videos, promoting its detainment of migrants and the killing of foreign adversaries by the US military. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, responsible for a large-scale deportation campaign against undocumented immigrants, released a one-minute video on X to the tune of Michael Jackson's hit song "Thriller."
The video begins with a sequence of horror movie icons, then transitions to images of arrests and detained migrants, accompanied by captions like "this guy was wanted for homicide." The Defense Department also posted a short, monochrome video on X, blending scenes of missile launches and troops in action with Trump's promises to kill drug traffickers and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's pledge to kill anyone who kills Americans.
The FBI published an animated video featuring a caricature of its director, Kash Patel, set to the tune of "Thriller" to emphasize statistics about a decline in crime. Both the White House and Trump himself frequently disseminate provocative content on social media to provoke opponents and incite outrage among critics. Such videos, especially those concerning the targeting of undocumented immigrants, have been widely criticized as degrading and racist.
