In January 2025, ICE announced it was pausing a hotline where people can report undocumented immigrants in the U.S. because 90% of calls were about Elon Musk.
@noctuaminervae @spiegelmama Going a bit 'conspiracy': what if ICE have put out the rumour to forestall such action -because people will think they don't need to do that because lots of people have been, suposedly, doing it already... Like voter surpression -people don't vote if they think it's already a done deal.
"Thank you for calling ICE. If you're calling to report Elon Musk, please press 1. To report Melania Trump, press 2. If you know the Social Security Number of the person you want deported, you may dial it at any time. If you don't know exactly what you want done please stay on the line." #ICE911 bsky.app/profile/hey.rupert.mu…
