So what happened was the Department of Homeland Security completely manipulated the video

altered the video to try to frame and set up these young African-American males to make it appear that they wanted to take a $50,000 bounty to go after ICE agents.

So then ICE says, we're hunting you down, young African-American males.

We're hunting you down.

And this has serious repercussions on the lives of these individuals right here.

The individual who made the post is talking about how serious this is getting and how the entire government now seems like they're coming after him and who the hell altered these images and who manipulated these images.

It's crazy.

So the individual who made the video, the young man responded.

As this account by Danny Glover says, Department of Homeland Security is the real clear and present threat to the American people.

With all the tech and surveillance tools at their disposal, they couldn't tell this video was edited.

Incompetent, racist,

So here's the young man explaining what happened.

He goes, I don't even know what this was.

That wasn't the video I made.

The video I did was talking about Iran, not talking about ICE at all.

Why would the government manipulate this?

And then subsequently, this individual has been posting on his Instagram stories.

Like this is getting serious, y'all.

Like people are coming after me now as a result of what the government is doing, attaching me to cartels.

What a sick thing that this government, that this regime did.
