We’ve seen the escalation of political violence lately from those opposed to President Donald Trump’s policies, with Tesla dealerships being vandalized, drivers of the brand assaulted, and then the New Mexico GOP headquarters lit on fire by anarchist arsonists on Sunday.
So when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem came across a TikTok video of a user called “belal_donq” endorsing the shooting of ICE agents, she was far from amused and vowed that such threatening rhetoric would not be tolerated.
The First Amendment does not give you the right to issue credible calls for the execution of law enforcement personnel:
If you threaten or attempt to harm a law enforcement officer we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/WaJO1iUp2e

The TikToker recommended shooting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on sight if they are caught trying to do their lawfully mandated jobs:
"Shoot at ICE agents on sight. That's right. If ICE agents are trying to take you or a loved one, shoot them on sight," TikTok user belal_donq said in his video.
The user claimed agents had been showing up in masks, unmarked vehicles, and without their badges, claiming that the agents "could be anybody."
"The way they're pulling up with masks on, with unmarked vehicles, no badge, no nothing. It could be anybody. It can be gang members. You have every right to shoot at them," he continued. "This would be the best self-defense case. You're just in fear for your life. You don't know who's behind that unmarked vehicle or who's behind that mask."
Under Border Czar Tom Homan and President Donald Trump’s direction, ICE has been quite busy rounding up violent pedophiles, murderers, and criminals and repatriating them back to their home countries or to El Salvador’s mega-prison, aka the “Terrorism Confinement Center.”

“belal_donq” continued, mocking ICE agents who are trying to make our cities safer and doubling down on his recommendation that you should murder them upon any encounter:
"What is our country coming to? Why would you want to be an ICE agent anyway? Do you like separating kids from their parents? Do you like deporting students that are studying? I can understand deporting a gang member or criminals. But innocent people. It's ridiculous."
"They're pulling up like the Mafia. You might as well shoot them on sight and have your day in court."
The tough-talking social media keyboard warrior apparently took down his post as it began to attract notice:
User belal_donq appeared to take down the video Sunday evening after Fox News Digital reached out to him on TikTok.
Not so tough anymore, are you?
In my opinion, this guy deserves whatever justice is coming his way, but if anyone should be hauled before a jury or an investigative panel, it’s former President Joe Biden. He is the chief architect of the disastrous open border policies that allowed so many illegal aliens to waltz into our country, and it is he who is responsible for so much human tragedy. Team Trump is merely trying to right a wrong and actually follow something that Joe ignored: the law. Certainly, some illegal immigrants are in line for some painful consequences, but that is not the fault of Joe or Susie Citizen or Team Trump—the blame can be entirely laid at the feet of the corrupt previous regime.
Calls for the assassination of federal law enforcement officials prove the point that there are far too many dangerous people here in this country that need to be removed, and “belal_donq” might be one of them (his immigration status is not clear).
In any case, his push for violence cannot be tolerated, and Noem is right to warn him that he may soon be subject to FAFO.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border—we just needed a new president.
