A video of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer slipping on ice has gone viral online, drawing widespread attention and criticism. In the clip, the agent loses his balance and falls while walking on a patch of ice, prompting social media users to ridicule the federal agency amid heightened scrutiny of its actions in Minnesota.ICE has been under fire in recent days after an officer, identified as Jonathan Ross, shot and killed Minneapolis resident Renee Good, an incident that ignited protests and national debate. The Trump administration has defended the agent’s use of force, asserting he acted in self-defense after Good allegedly attempted to ram him with her SUV.
Critics, including local officials and community members, have called the shooting unjustified, with some law enforcement experts questioning the officer’s positioning and decisions. Reactions to the ice-slip video reflect broader public frustration. One of the users on X said, “ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.”Another user said, “Some smooth brain in DC thought having ICE ramp up activity in MN in January was a good idea. Folks, we’re not fighting against smart people.”Late night show host Jimmy Kimmel also didn’t miss a chance to slam the immigrant officials as he released a montage of videos showing ICE falling on ice.
