Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Man Threatening to 'Put a Bullet' in ICE Agents' Heads Didn't Say It

Did a video shared in June 2025 show a man threatening to kill ICE agents and telling them "I'll put a bullet in y'all fucking head"? No, that's not true: The off-screen voice in fact said the ICE agents should shoot themselves, and called their actions a "God damn shame." The off-screen voice did say that U.S. citizens would "start fighting back" against immigration-related arrests, but did not threaten to kill anyone.

The false quote appeared in a June 2, 2025, post on X (archived here). It read:

'I'LL PUT A BULLET IN Y'ALL FUCKING HEAD!'

Man apologizes to illegal alien being detained by ICE & threatens to kill law enforcement officers.

The clip can be watched in full below:

At no time in the video did the off-screen voice threaten to kill anyone, and the quote contained in the X post is erroneous. Rather, he encouraged the agents to shoot themselves, saying "All y'all should put a bullet in y'all heads".

While many observers might object to such language, and to his related warning that Americans would "start fighting back" against immigration-related arrests, he did not say "I'll put a bullet in y'all fucking head".

Here is a full transcript of the video:

Man behind camera: Like come on man, that's a damn shame what y'all doing.

Law enforcement officer (LEO) : Sir, I'm gonna have you back up

Man behind camera: Yeah it's cool, it's cool, but it's a damn shame. [To man being detained] Yo my man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry Trump's an asshole. I'm sorry they voted for this fucking asshole. [Silence].

[Addressing LEO] You know what, when people start fighting back, then what y'all gonna do? Y'all gonna shoot every American? When we start fighting back, what y'all gonna do? Y'all gonna shoot Americans then? 'cause that's what we gonna start doing, we gonna start fighting back. That's what we gonna start doing, fighting back. God damn shame, all y'all should put a bullet in y'all heads. Doing Trump's work. Every single one of y'all, put a bullet in your head. [To a passing LEO] Yeah I said it. What? What? What? I said it. What? I'm a United States citizen. I said it. All y'all put a bullet in y'all head. Y'all fucking losers, all y'all fucking losers, put a bullet in y'all fucking head.

LEO, walking past: Excuse me

Man behind camera: Man, fuck, don't touch me, pussy. Touch me again. Touch me again. Come on, touch me again. Touch me again. I'm walking to my car, touch me again. Touch me again. Touch me -- I swear to God, touch me one more, [to passing LEO] touch me one more time, touch me one more time, touch me one more fucking time, pussy. Touch me one more time, pussy. Touch me one more time -- that's what I thought, pussy. Pussy. Pussy. Heard what I said, pussy. Pussy.
