Sometimes it is a whole account on TikTok that posts these videos. Sometimes it is just 1-2 of these videos.
Some get only a few thousand views. Some get over 150K views, like this one here.
Most of these videos aren't good enough to pass for the real thing, imho, but they do fool some.
homescreen of a tiktok account with numerous videos. The thumbnails of these videos depict ICE and law enforcement agents arresting Hispanic people, often with a pregnant woman or child included crying as a man (husband/father) is being detained
A good chunk of my time each week is dedicated to collecting and archiving video evidence of DHS officers arresting people. There are literally hundreds of these videos.
I cannot fathom why people spend time on Sora creating their own AI videos of families being ripped apart to post online.
Hey, would you mind following me so I can DM you? I would love to chat with you for an upcoming article

Coupled with the fact that Bovino admitted that he himself does not wear a body-camera and has not been trained to use one.

This system can get a kid killed instead of being used to save them.

If this was a movie, the audience would think literally destroying a portion of the White House would be too direct of a metaphor to represent Trump's dismantling of America.
