ICE: We Stop “Illegal Ideas” From Crossing The Border

Newsweek reports:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) quickly deleted a social media post Thursday that claimed that its mission is not just to keep out illegal immigrants, money, and products, but “ideas” as well.

Appearing as the latest tough-on-immigration social media post from the Trump administration, the graphic stated: “If it crosses the U.S. border illegally, it’s our job to stop it”.

The post sparked confusion on X, formerly Twitter, with several immigration and law experts asking what counted as an “illegal idea”, as it was reshared widely over the space of a few hours. The Department of Homeland Security told Newsweek the post was made in error.
