A Texas illegal immigrant thought it would be a good idea to use the social media platform TikTok to solicit the murders of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. It turns out that, at least for him, it was a very bad idea indeed.
His name is Eduardo Aguilar, and he was offering up to $10,000 for each successful hit. His efforts led the 23-year-old to earn an up-close and personal meeting with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Not surprisingly, the get-together did not go well for him, and he was arrested:

The DHS tweet continues:
We are thankful this criminal who had a firearm in his possession was arrested before he could kill one of our law enforcement officers.
The Trump administration will not back down from these threats, and every criminal, terrorist, and illegal alien will face American justice.
The United States Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Texas, issued a statement Thursday detailing the charges Aguilar faces:
An illegal alien from Mexico was arrested Tuesday for soliciting others to kill ICE agents in a TikTok post on October 9, 2025, announced Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy E. Larson.
According to court records, Eduardo Aguilar, 23, residing in Dallas, Texas, was charged by federal complaint for transmitting in interstate or foreign commerce a communication containing a threat, resulting from his October 9 post on TikTok in Spanish…
Court records reflect that the translation of the black and white text states, “I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren’t afraid to [two skull emojis].” The emojiis are known to represent the word, “die.” The second phrase, in red and white text, states, “10K for each ICE agent.”

He faces a serious prison term if convicted:
Aguilar was in court on Wednesday and was ordered detained in federal custody. He faces a maximum of five years in prison if convicted.
"Threats against our law enforcement officers are completely unacceptable," said acting U.S. Attorney Nancy E. Larson. "All threats against our agents and officers will be investigated thoroughly, and anyone who threatens or puts a bounty on agents will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible."
The Democrats’ continued calls to violence are being heard by their leftist followers. This is the way to deal with them.
