The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has drawn widespread criticism after sharing a viral video showing federal agents wheeling away a Portland protester on a flatbed trolley. The clip, uploaded on 5 October 2025, included a caption that read: 'Refuse to walk? We'll give you a ride.'
The post, shared through ICE's official account on X (formerly Twitter), quickly gained traction, amassing more than 12 million views within hours. Many accused the agency of mocking detainees and provoking anger intentionally, a tactic often described as 'rage baiting'. Others defended ICE's approach as humorous and efficient.
