New Twist in Propaganda … AI Generated Lies About ICE
In the heated debates surrounding immigration enforcement, rhetoric has often been sharp, sometimes even reckless. It is bad enough when critics describe the legitimate work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as “Gestapo tactics,” accuse agents of “kidnapping,” or claim that people are being made to “disappear.” Such language is not only inflammatory but also profoundly misleading and dangerous, equating a legitimate lawful enforcement agency with the machinery of totalitarian terror.
Yet today, we face a new and even more insidious level of propaganda — the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)–produced videos that completely fabricate scenes of ICE enforcement that never happened. These phony productions are not mere exaggerations; they are outright slander, designed to erode public trust and sows division.
These AI-generated falsehoods are already flooding the Internet. Some depict Catholic prelates angrily ordering ICE agents off church premises, as though the agency were storming sacred ground in defiance of religious liberty. In one case, a flawed AI production shows a cardinal with three arms. Others show ICE agents roughing up women and children, portraying them as brutal thugs rather than law enforcement officers carrying out their duties.
These videos are not authentic recordings or even simulations of real events. They are manufactured illusions, stitched together by algorithms that can mimic voices, faces, and gestures with uncanny precision. To the casual viewer, they appear convincing. And that is precisely the danger.
The deliberate creation of false videos portraying ICE agents as violent or sacrilegious is not simply political speech. It is slander. It wrongfully defames individuals and an institution, undermining their credibility and damaging their reputation. In a society governed by the rule of law, slander has consequences. Those who knowingly produce and disseminate such falsehoods should be prosecuted. Free speech does not extend to fabricating evidence of crimes or misdeeds that never occurred. Just as one cannot falsely accuse a neighbor of theft without legal repercussions, one cannot conjure digital “evidence” of ICE brutality and expect immunity.
The problem becomes even more serious if these videos originate from foreign adversaries. If, for instance, Russia or other hostile nations are behind the production and distribution of such propaganda, the issue transcends domestic politics. It becomes a matter of national security. Foreign powers have long sought to destabilize democracies by spreading disinformation. During past election cycles, Russian operatives used social media to inflame racial tensions and polarize voters. AI-generated videos are simply the next evolution of that strategy. In such cases, diplomatic rebuke is not enough. Sanctions and other punitive measures should be imposed to deter foreign actors from weaponizing falsehoods against the United States.
Technology companies bear heavy responsibility in this fight. Platforms like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) are the primary channels through which these videos spread. If they allow flagrantly false material to circulate unchecked, they become complicit in the deception. Just as platforms have developed systems to detect and remove child exploitation content or terrorist propaganda, they must now invest in tools to identify and block AI-generated slander. This is not a matter of stifling legitimate debate. It is a matter of preventing lies from masquerading as truth. Companies that fail to act should face regulatory consequences.
The ICE videos are only one example of a broader phenomenon — the rise of “deepfakes.” These are AI-generated images, audio, or video clips that convincingly depict events that never happened. Deepfakes have already been used to impersonate celebrities, fabricate political speeches, and even mimic the voices of family members in scams. The potential for abuse is staggering. Imagine a deepfake video of a military leader announcing a false mobilization, or of a CEO confessing to fraud. The economic and political damage could be immense. The ICE propaganda videos are a warning sign of what lies ahead if society fails to act.
The law must evolve to meet this challenge. Current statutes on defamation and fraud were written long before the advent of AI-generated media. Legislators should craft new provisions specifically addressing deepfakes, making it clear that producing and disseminating false digital content with intent to deceive is a punishable offense. At the same time, ethical norms must be reinforced. Journalists, educators, and civic leaders should emphasize the importance of verifying sources and questioning sensational claims. Citizens must learn to approach viral videos with skepticism, recognizing that not everything that looks real is real.
More than the reputation of ICE is at stake. What is at stake is the very foundation of public trust and the efficacy of public debate. If citizens cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood, democracy itself is imperiled. Law enforcement agencies rely on public confidence to carry out their duties. Religious institutions rely on credibility to guide their congregations. Governments rely on trust to maintain legitimacy. AI-generated slander corrodes all of these pillars. It is a toxin in the bloodstream of civic life.
It is bad enough when critics resort to hyperbolic language, likening ICE to the Gestapo or accusing agents of kidnapping. But the new frontier of propaganda – AI-produced phony videos – represents a far greater danger. These videos are slanderous, they may be tools of foreign adversaries, and they spread through technology platforms that must be held accountable. The response must be multifaceted: prosecution of domestic offenders, sanctions against foreign perpetrators, technological safeguards by private companies, and legal reforms by lawmakers. Above all, society must cultivate vigilance, teaching citizens to question what they see and to demand evidence before believing sensational claims. Only by confronting this threat head-on can we preserve the integrity of truth in the digital age.
So, there ‘tis.
Larry-Joe Giberhorison:
From National Immigration Law Center: “n March and April 2025, the U.S. government sent more than 280 young men to a foreign jail notorious for torture, in secret, with no notice to their loved ones or attorneys. There, they were held incommunicado and tortured. Four months later, 252 of those young men were released from the mega-prison in El Salvador, known as CECOT, and sent to their native Venezuela (notably, a country that a number of the men had originally fled, fearing persecution).
Can LarryJoe tell us how long they will be incarcerated for? Or what they did. Sure as fuck, you can’t tell us who they are because THEY ARE DISAPPEARED.
And now your new dodge is to say: “don’t believe your lying eyes, it’s all just a wag-the-dog AI deepfake. No, Larry, Chicago was real. LA was real. There are survivors to prove it. Witnesses to prove it. And rumor has it that right-wing publishing houses of tiny posts may be behind all the fakes. Just look at their story art, these guys are talented at pictures that lie 🙂
For anyone reading this, and looking for a loved one or friend, find NILC and they can help.
“To date, the U.S. government has not given any of the 280+ men an opportunity to defend themselves against any alleged basis for this exile–nor have we seen a full list of the men originally sent to CECOT. Disappearances are the tools of authoritarian regimes. They have no place in a democracy with a Constitution that values justice and due process. We must collectively demand justice for those who survived CECOT and the return of the men who remain and languish there.
The U.S. government refuses to provide information about who it has sent to CECOT. But thanks to the determination of families, advocates and lawyers, we have started to piece together where some of these young men lived. Some of the men sent to CECOT had been held in immigration custody from the time they first arrived in the United States. We know this list is incomplete and will be adding to it as we become aware of more cities and states.”
Horist: you show us the names of the close to 300 men you sent there. You pay for them to be there. Is that what you call: “the legitimate work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)…”
As to the authoritarian tactics, ICE’s own videos show that. Chained, hobbled, and now human-rights violations at concentration camps a stone’s throw from your backdoor as you, yourself, profit from our cruel and unusual punishments.
And that’s just CECOT. Can Larry tell us the disposition of any of the men sent to Eswatini, South Sudan, Ghana, and Rwanda. Perhaps Uganda too by now. We have deportation agreements with all. But Larry, who was sent, where did they end up once there, and if you can’t, aren’t they disappeared?
This story is a heinous attempt to polish a turd. You ain’t got no lily to gild here. You thought you were in Boca, buy I think you now live in shame. You don’t even seek the truth anymore.
Why don’t you stand up for the rule of law? I thought you like all people’s, all races. I might give some leeway for heinous criminals, but for a misdemeanor? Warrantless arrests by unidentified men in masks armed to the teeth does not sound like NAZI’s to you? What does it take to get you to see? New Woke police operating like Trump law and oder operates? A little DEI deportation to CECOT for you.
Come on man, look at the videos, see the hobbled men, some innocent, some just misdemeanors, heading to a third-world death camp probably for life.
Dunger you are a damned liar. You can’t prove anything. You get your “facts “ from liberal propaganda and leftist publications. So you know how to stay away from the jails? Respect the law. Which means nothing to Marxist assholes.
Larry-keep pushing out the bullshit-soon you’ll be as popular as the retarded President you helped elect. While I have never seen any of the AI ICE information that is out there, it would not surprise me to learn there is some. However, the actions that have been reported by real news sources inform me that ICE under the nutcase krusty gnome has gone so far rogue that yes they have into a gestapo-like force. Gnome is not following the law with her deportations-it is shameful what is happening to this country under the ignoramuses that trump has chosen to lead our nation-currently the laughing stock of the western world
Retarded president??? You must be talking about Biden. Him and you and Dunger are retarded.
Sethdung: That’s just deplorable of you to lie like that. No proof of my being retarded. But there’s every bit of proof that you are retarding the release of the Epstein files so we know who the King Retards around here are. And you are in the top ten. Release the Epstein files, fairly redacted. Quit retarding the process.
Your BDS is showing on top of your ever-present DDS. A fucking year into the reign of the Felon King and the US sucks, we are not the best economy in the world anymore. Shrinking jobs, slowing wage growth, and rising costs are what’s retarded under Trump. And you love it which I find very funny. Our unemployment is up, inflation up, taxes up, deficit highest in four years, Trump sets a record again as highest deficits ever, and you still blame Biden for Trump’s America. Maybe if you took your head out of your ass, you could see past your dung that you seem to incessantly bring up.
Our economy is not first anymore in many of the metrics that we were first in under Biden. It’s retarded not to know that.
Dung, dung, dung, Biden, Biden, Biden……yeah, your life is better under the Felon King. Did you get your invite to The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts? Did Don just admit he’s part of the living dead now? Memorial? What’s next, the Trump-Washington Memorial? The Trump-Lincoln Memorial. Department of Trump Justice? Trump Bureau of Investigation? We already have the Trump Police or TruMICE. How about going to war to create our new State of Trumpenezuela?
You retards release Santos-the-liar, Hernandez the 400 million pound drug importer, Smith the Baltimore drug kingpin, and those who brutally injured over 140 cops but you hold back on showing pictures of guys who memo Epstein: “I have a girl for you?” That’s just retarded. This guy, Trump’s best friend for years, mandated, by ID proof, only those under 18 and Trump never knew? (remember, trick question given he did not turn him in).
You tell us you will reduce drug prices by 600%, that math is just retarded.
You tell us you are stopping fentanyl when it’s cocaine. You tell us you are stopping drugs, when you retardedly stop mules, not producers.
You eat retarded just like you eat dung, speak dung, you seem to revel in all dung all the time. I say Danger, you think dung. That’s just retarded.
Where are the full Epstein files? Why does Bondi and MAGA support hiding pedophiles with pictures clearly show Trump, and yet they only release Clinton and other non-Trumpers, no Trump in this latest release. Even a 100-page black 100% redacted report: they just fucking with the public now. Why not just say: report totally redacted because? Fucking tree-killer on top on everything else.
Only logical reason to hold back Trump pics because he’s a person of interest in the investigation, no doubt a possibility. And Clinton is not, so they can show him,
You are retarded not to ask for a full release and fair redactions. Quit protecting anyone. Get some transparency. These people will never get to court. You guys out people without the courts all the time, every time almost. Why are you retarding the release of the Epstein files?
Your felon King is as transparent as dung. You live in his dung. You eat his dung with a spoon. Every time you say dung, Seth gets a ping.
Have you no shame, sir?
Dunger I lost count of the lies in your post. And by the way, the unjust felony charges will be dropped soon. You’re pissed at the world because we rejected your token cunt. Get over yourself asshole
Sethdung: you can count?
Prove one lie.
Felony charges will be dropped? Over 60 felonies? How? Who? There’s a lie.
BUSTED.
Dunger is busted. Interesting. I have only heard of 32 or 34 fake accounts. And Trump will not be bothered by the Epstein files. Your shit party would be screaming about it now
Willieeatsdung: not so quick son.
34 personal felonies by Donnie
Then 17 for two Trump companies with much evidence having Trump’s signature.
Then 17 for his CFO, again with Trump’s signature all over the documentation evidence.
And as every good Trumpian knows, Don signs everything himself, is really smart, and only hires the best. Hard to say Trump company upper management decisions about money don’t have Don written all over it. Literally.
That’s 68 son, none fake, all turned in by a jury of his peers probably in a couple of courts. James was there. Or you can go with Trump not responsible for his top managers; makes sense to me, I’ll take the bust there since it explains him being asleep at the wheel as President. Literally.
BUSTED. Thanks for the lie. You and gay Sethdung deserve each other. The dungbro’s.
Dunger the convictions will be tossed before this spring. But he’s our president and the country is doing well with him in the White House. And nothing about the Epstein report will cause alarm for Trump. Since you hate your country perhaps you should leave. three more years and then JB Vance. So kiss MAGA ass and stfu.
Uncle Dung: You are correct that Don is spending your money to appeal his cases and as long as it’s not his money, why not? Your PAC dollars are funding, go for it. So far, suck on it, but you haven’t gotten to the Trump UNITED COURT HOUSE of the United States yet. Not the SCOTUS, but the TUCHUS.
And no, the county is not doing better under Trump. Our entire population of brown people live in fear. He has called half the country traitors. Our gdp growth is a roller coaster starting at a recessionary level of -.6%, rebounding to 3.8% (third version), and then an estimate of 3.5%, first version delayed by shutdown, and 4q estimate of 2.0% — a not to stellar roller coaster of chaos.
Unemployment under Trump continues to edge higher: 1q 4.1%, 2q 4.2% and 3q 4.3%. September hit 4.6%; the highest unemployment in over three years. And that does not count the undocumented who are jobless by deportation.
Inflation has been generally climbing since Trump took office now at 2.7% which is close to where Biden had it at end of term. However, prices are chaotic due to tariffs (coffee, bananas, furniture), shortages like beef due to drought compounded by tariff-induced costs to support up 17%, oj up 31% due to climate change, eggs up 50% due to the flu with Biden-era-funded chicken vaccine available in Feb 2025 if RFK jr does not kill it (and us). Basically, the inflation report shows more chaos with very little proactive response by the green-hand man asleep at the wheel.
Both Biden and Trump pushed, with EO’s, DPA funding, Biden’s ARA, Biden’s IRA, Biden’s CHIPS and science act, with many of the new factories announced during term Biden. However, it’s on Trump’s watch that they announced, even if a repeat of term-Biden in many cases. Half the announcements come in 1Q25 and remember, Trump still blames Biden for everything Trump today. Still. Again. Why not, if things are still going bad.
Like Biden, the best you can say is Trump’s economy is good for some. Not the elites like Biden’s, but our nation’s oligarchs like Musk, Thiel, and the other high tech NAZIs. The nation’s six-pack Joe’s just believe the spin that everything is coming up roses as more and more of them conclude the rose is wilting.
If brown people are here legally they have nothing to worry about Dunger.
Willeatsdung: still waiting for your apologies the fake busting.
And obviously you don’t know any brown people. Sure, the law says they are safe. But America has ceased to be a nation that lives by the rule of law. Our leaders routinely flip the bird to the law. Our President has let close to 2,000 criminals lose before time served as a reward for not following the law. He is a felon. He is a sex abuser. He defames women and continues today. When he sees shipwrecked sailors, he kills them and brags about it. When a Senator says his name and position, asks a question, they tackle, shackle.face plant and detain. Same for legal protesters. Knowing the law and following the law are two different things and your side practices neither during the reign of your King. .
The brown people are skipping school, work, and the legal ones in the legal immigration process don’t even go to immigration meetings anymore. Many of those assaulted by helicopter attack in Chicago are innocents. The legal father of a serviceman was tackled and put in jail as he is at eol due to end stage kidney failure.
Do some research before you spew the doo-doo that you do so do. Let’s see you support your dung about brown people with facts because the arrests of innocent brown people are skyrocketing as they beat the fuck out of ICE to get higher. .
Most people don’t listen to leftist bullshit. If people are here legally they should have paperwork to show with proof. But Dunger you forget to comment on the criminal repeat offenders and people who raped children get rounded up and kicked out. And usually prosecuted. But I suppose you want them for neighbors and to use to steal elections.
How many people don’t listen to leftist bullshit? First off, most people can’t find leftist bullshit in today’s MSM. You must have read that in your far right extremist publications of which there are many more far right extremist publications than there are far left extremist publications. At least according to ADL: you wanna say the Jews got it wrong? Would that show your antisemitism? Fire away.
You think I, and others from the left, haven’t commented on criminal deportations? We have, and we all agree with you on that one, except we honor the rule of law and you don’t anymore.
We just think the non-criminal captures should appear in court, and that we probably should not detain, arrest, incarcerate, deport or disappear non-criminal undocumented and, most certainly, legal folks following a legal immigration process. You’re need for numbers, you’re need for hate, you’re need to use cruelty as branding of your intents, means the ICEmen cometh for all brown peoples, all the time, legal or not. You fucking tackled, shackled, face-planted and detained a US Senator announcing himself proudly and loudly in a public meeting. His crime: asking a question while brown. Narciso Barranco, a landscaper here for DECADES, 30+ years without a crime, is an undocumented immigrant who is married to a U.S. citizen and father to two active-duty American Marines and one veteran, was sprayed, tackled, repeatedly beaten, restrained, detained, and incarcerated. Three ICE thugs pinned him, they kept punching him in the head, no signs of any resisting. A bystander yells, “HEY, why are you hitting him.” The agents claimed “attack by weedwhacker,” of which there is no proof, no body cam footage yet.
One of his sons summed up: we prepared him, we told him do not resist, all ahead of time. The spray blinded him so he lashed out. We expected ICE to act professionally and not like this. Wow, definingly a patriot Marine; not sure any of us could be so magnanimous. Orange County. Detained for three weeks, out on bond, had already started the Parole in Place process but ICE knew that, that’s how they found him as they picked off many who have been here for decades, no criminal charges, work, pay taxes, and following the legal immigration process of Parole in Place. Was ICE after criminals or the brown people? Can the word NAZI be applied? Better check your memberships, applications, and other documentation trials because it’s one battle after another and today the ICEman cometh for the brown people, tomorrow it may be you and the rule of law may not protect you in Trumpmerica.
Paperwork? How many times do I tell you: pass the Republican, or Democratic laws that include E-Verify and your paperwork problem goes away overnight. MOST of these people come to work, live, pay taxes, with far less, if any, of the benefits we give to even trailer trash. Bills like S. 4529 (Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2024) seek to establish E-Verify federally and mandate its use for all employers. Many more being offered at State levels, but this should be one law for the nation.. Both parties at fault for not pushing these through. You guys are too busy demonizing the brown people to make your problems seem smaller. They won’t be, they will become larger because of your fuck ups here. And you spend the rest of your time vilifying liberals as if our mere existence is holding you back. It’ isn’t and our demise as you demonize will not make your lives better. It will make them worse.
“And usually prosecuted.” Exsqueeze me, bumblefuck? Usually? So you admit you don’t follow the rule of law. Congrats for coming out of the cruelty closet. The Founders would be proud of your patriotism. Not.
“But I suppose you want them for neighbors and to use to steal elections.” You are correct, they are my neighbors, although I am in a “don’t ask, don’t tell” as we are in one battle after another. They can’t vote asshole, never could. You got proof of different or just crickets and more name calling?
