tens of millions of natural-born citizens were expelled
DHS/ICE deportation operations and ad campaigns target non‑citizens (people in the U.S. illegally), not natural-born U.S. citizens. DHS has explicitly stated that ICE does not arrest or deport U.S. citizens.
Full reasoning
The post frames a DHS ad campaign as imagining an America where “natural-born citizens” are expelled.
However, DHS has explicitly stated that ICE does not arrest or deport U.S. citizens:
- In an official DHS press release (Oct 1, 2025), DHS wrote: “ICE does NOT arrest or deport U.S. citizens.” This directly contradicts the idea of DHS running deportation/expulsion campaigns aimed at (natural-born) U.S. citizens.
And when DHS describes its immigration-related ad campaigns, it describes them as targeting “illegal aliens” (i.e., non-citizens in the U.S. unlawfully), not citizens:
- In a DHS press release announcing an ad campaign (Mar 15, 2025), DHS says it is launching an ad campaign “warning illegal aliens” to self-deport and that those “here illegally” will be deported.
Taken together, DHS’s own documentation contradicts the claim that the campaign was about expelling “natural-born citizens.”
