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.
