Kristi Noem, DHS Under Fire For Sharing Doctored Video Portraying Black Teens As ICE Threats - Black Enterprise

Behind the scenes, the Trump administration has increasingly engaged in what internet users call 'shitposting'

After the Department of Homeland Security’s official X account posted a video featuring a group of Black teenagers that many have called out as fake, Kristi Noem, the director of the department, was called out by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) the representative demanded that the video be deleted, or Noem would have to answer for the apparent digital manipulation in Congress.

According to Raw Story, on Oct. 17, the DHS posted the video, which depicts several young Black men posturing in a park, with a caption that conveys that the group was openly threatening Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. However, it was not long until users on social media found the original video, wherein the threat, issued in jest, was actually aimed at Iran, not ICE.
