On Halloween, the Trump administration released several violent and degrading video montages celebrating the forcible deportation of immigrants and the pursuit of America’s “enemies.”
“Happy Halloween,” declares U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a video posted on X on Saturday, jumbling together images of monsters, clowns and pumpkins with footage of migrants being arrested and detained.
The clip, set to Michael Jackson’s Halloween hit “Thriller,” mocks the arrests as the King of Pop sings, “You hear the door slam and realize there’s nowhere left to run. You feel the cold hand and wonder if you’ll ever see the sun,” reports News.
Other videos posted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and a Defense Department official portray the Trump administration as “haunting America’s enemies” with missiles and explosions, or stopping monsters.
Donald Trump and his administration regularly post provocative content on social media to spark outrage, hoping it will go viral.
Much of this content targeting undocumented immigrants, whom the Republican billionaire has vowed to deport en masse, has been condemned as degrading and racist by the opposition.
