.......why are they on social media AT ALL? What kinds of tweets would they even send???

Hey @Julio we're coming to deport you and your whole family! See ya at 6!

Seriously. What is the use case here?

We know that the administration is willing to monitor social media to make problems for people who oppose the government, and I've seen a LOT of people posting potentially legally actionable things specifically relating to ICE's presence on the platform. A bunch of easily identifiable people posting things that could be legally interpreted as threats to ICE makes the DOJ very happy.

Propaganda.

0 posts. My guess is to link to ice[dot]gov

Linking from one site to another (external linking) can indirectly benefit SEO by enhancing content credibility.

But I have no idea what they are thinking/expecting.

This is what their account says:

They will create an account bait until getting banned then trump will spaz out and try sue and threaten bluesky.

Good. Then everyone can realize there is only one truly ungovernable form of social media

Don't block them, aggressively mock and insult them under every post. That's literally why we don't have conservative subs on Lemmy.

blocking works better there's a reason why the white house accounts haven't posted in like two months

I really don't think whatever PR person runs that account will care that much.

[–] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

It’s not for them. The mockery is for all of the audience to see. It’s propaganda too.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Probably gonna be a bot anyway.

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The simple fact that it’s a verified account is enough to keep me away.

isnt ESPN running ice propaganda, by having ICE RECRUITMENT ADS on them,.

[–] flatplutosociety@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know if they still are now, but they were running a LOT of them a few months ago.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 18 hours ago

it does make sense, since sports is political, and most conservative watch it, its more eyes for recruitment. theres also plenty of Poc joining ice apparently too.
