The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is under scrutiny after its official X account shared a video of Black teenagers appearing to threaten Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents—footage that social media users later identified as altered from its original context.
The post, uploaded on October 17, featured a group of young Black men and a caption reading, "FAFO. If you threaten or lay hands on our law enforcement officers we will hunt you down and you will find out, really quick. We'll see you cowards soon." The acronym "FAFO" is widely understood to mean "F*** around and find out." The video also included text suggesting Mexican cartels had placed a $50,000 bounty on ICE agents.
