Whoever handles social media for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, learned an important lesson on clarity Friday afternoon.
It all started after the agency posted on X: “Contact us if you were harmed by an alien.”
Although many people responded to the post by griping about immigrants, others saw an opportunity to troll the agency that they just couldn’t pass up.
Some people posted pics of Elon Musk, an immigrant from South Africa, while others hilariously decided that ICE’s use of the word “alien” could only refer to extraterrestrials.
And, guess what? People had questions about the specifics.
Others had some fun with their reported alien encounters.
And then, there were the people reported being harmed by a very specific alien: ALF, the cat-eating main character of the beloved 1980s sitcom.
