The recent ICE operations appear to have brought out extreme reactions in some individuals, particularly those who may be facing mental health challenges. Among these are protestors who believe that obstructing moving vehicles will deter ICE from detaining immigrants. However, a group of protestors in Newark, New Jersey, risked their lives by attempting to stop ICE vans, hoping to rescue those inside.
A TikTok video shared by Fox News host Jesse Watters shows several people standing in front of a moving ICE van as it slowly pushed them across the street. Perhaps these protestors envisioned themselves as superheroes, but in reality, a person cannot stop a several-ton van, especially one operated by the government.
Still, one particularly vocal individual persisted, shouting, “DON’T KILL ME!“

Eventually, the van stopped, and the protestor hugged the front of the vehicle, demanding that ICE “let their people go.” Fortunately, someone pulled the protestor off the hood before the van drove away. Defeated, the protestor fell to the ground, making a sound described as a pig’s squeal. While it’s unfortunate that ICE continued with the detention, the internet found the display entertaining, if not embarrassing.
“Someone forgot to take their medication 🤨,” one TikTok user commented. “Mental health is so important these days,” another user said. “Just throw her in the van and let her go with them,” a third joked. “🤣 What is wrong with these people? They’re crazy; there’s no reason for anybody to stop. No one will miss them,🤣” a fourth laughed.
The US is currently facing challenges, including protestors who may need mental health support and people in positions of power who are allegedly directing ICE to target non-white individuals. .
It’s a difficult situation, and it’s unclear how the country will overcome these issues.
