A viral video shows an illegal immigrant insulting President Donald Trump while thanking former President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama while being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.
In the video, an illegal immigrant can be seen being detained in a police vehicle during an ICE operation in Boston. During his arrest, the illegal immigrant can be heard shouting, “I’m not going back to Haiti! F-ck Trump, you feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro! Thank Obama, for everything he did for me, bro!”
Fox News reported that ICE officials confirmed the illegal immigrant in the video is a gang member with “17 criminal convictions in recent years.”
Vice President J.D. Vance shared the viral video in a post on social media, tweeting, “An illegal alien with 17 criminal convictions really hates President Trump for sending him back to Haiti. He’s grateful to Biden for letting him come here.”
“I’m glad we’re deporting him,” Vance added. “Do you agree or would you like him as your neighbor?”
According to The National News Desk, the illegal immigrant who insulted Trump and praised Biden and Obama was one of eight illegal immigrants arrested in the same day by ICE’s field office in Boston following Trump’s inauguration this week. The outlet reported that the illegal immigrants arrested by ICE officials in Boston included multiple MS-13 gang members, illegal immigrants suspected of rape and murder, and illegal immigrants wanted by the International Criminal Police Organization.
Following the ICE operation, Patricia Hyde, who serves as the acting field director of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations office in Boston, told Fox News, “Today was a good day. Today we took several significant public safety threats out of our communities. Unfortunately, a lot were released by sanctuary policies. But we’re here to tell the Commonwealth and the rest of the country that we’re going to find them, whether they’re released or not.”

The ICE arrests conducted by the agency’s field office in Boston come as Trump’s border czar, Thomas Homan, confirmed that ICE officials had already arrested hundreds of illegal immigrants in just the first couple days of the Trump administration.
In an interview with Fox News, Homan explained that ICE officials were starting to carry out Trump’s orders by targeting the “worst” illegal immigrants first, including individuals considered to be public safety or national security threats.
“ICE is doing their job, and they’re prioritizing just as the president said they would,” Homan said. “So ICE is performing excellent right now out in the field, and they’re going to continue every day.”
