When we say "explicitly neo-Nazi" we mean channels that fly swastikas and praise Hitler. That's the zone of internet where DHS is apparently finding inspiration for their X posts. It's ultra unlikely they would have ever encountered that song if they weren't in that space, imo.
Our researchers found at least 450 posts on Telegram dating back to 2020 that shared the song mentioned in this reporting.
Nearly all the posts we found were from explicitly neo-Nazi and white supremacist channels. And a review of our datasets found it hasn't circulated much outside those circles.

I monitored Nazi terror Telegram channels from 2019 to 2022 or so and it's hard to overstate the degree to which DHS's X account mimics the tone, aesthetic, voice, and language of those cess pits.

A couple of days ago, Wrecktangle Pizza in Minnesota raised $83k to donate food and other essentials to immigrants and other people trapped in their homes.
Very soon, ICE showed up at their door.
The agents got chased off by employees and locals, though not before dropping some tear gas.

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

This behind-the-scenes look at the successful effort to persuade Avelo to cut ties with ICE is worth your time.
Avelo Airlines’ decision to drop its ICE contract shows that immigration enforcement isn’t inevitable; when communities organize, target corporate complicity, and refuse to normalize deportations, even powerful agencies can be forced to back down.
Here’s How We Pressured an Airline to End Its Contract With ICE
ICE is not invulnerable. The Avelo Airlines win proves what happens when we refuse inevitability and fight together.

Trump just announced a 25% tariff on advanced chips, but not on chips that are used within the United States. So it's a tariff on chips used an input into exports. Yes, effectively an export tariff.
