Eduardo Aguilar, a 23-year-old undocumented immigrant from Mexico living in the United States, has been charged by the U.S. Department of Justice for communicating threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Aguilar allegedly posted videos on TikTok encouraging people to kill ICE agents, promising bounties of up to $10,000 for each agent killed.
“All threats against our agents and officers will be investigated thoroughly, and anyone who threatens or puts a bounty on agents will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible,” Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy E. Larson said, according to The Independent.

TikTok cooperated with local authorities to identify Aguilar, who now could face up to five years in a U.S. prison. He was found with a loaded gun at the time of his arrest.
