Whoever handles social media for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, learned an important lesson on clarity Friday afternoon.
It all started after the agency posted on X: “Contact us if you were harmed by an alien.”
Although many people responded to the post by griping about immigrants, others saw an opportunity to troll the agency that they just couldn’t pass up.
Some people posted pics of Elon Musk, an immigrant from South Africa, while others hilariously decided that ICE’s use of the word “alien” could only refer to extraterrestrials.
And, guess what? People had questions about the specifics.
Like probed or examined? Carried into outer space? Injected with chemicals or had experiments done on you? 👽
— Voter🗽💙🌏 (@MairseyDotes) May 30, 2025Does this include the abduction part or just the anal probing part of being “harmed by an alien”? What about cattle mutilations? They do have an impact on sales. Would that be considered “harmed by an alien” as well?
— CoBro (@CoBreaud) May 30, 2025Can people also report UFO sightings or do the aliens have to abduct and probe you first? 🤔

Harmed by an alien? I was anally probed by an alien after I was teleported from my Arkansas single wide. Can you help?
