Overview

• A DHS video posted online this week included a brief grab of Von saying, “Heard you got deported, dude, bye,” intercut with footage of ICE raids and on-screen figures such as “2 million in 250 days.”
• The montage also featured people being handcuffed and loaded onto buses, followed by a clip of Trump speaking and a closing title reading “Bye.”
• Von posted on social media telling DHS to take the video down, to “send a check,” and to keep him out of such content.
• He said his views on immigration are more nuanced than the montage suggests and asked not to be associated with its tone.
• No DHS response, removal, or compensation was reported as of publication, as online reaction to Von’s stance and prior remarks remained divided.
