In a moment of sheer poetic justice (and viral gold), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted a video that sent the internet—and leftists—into a frenzy. The now-infamous clip shows a Portland protester being wheeled away face-down on a metal flatbed cart, hands cuffed behind their back, while spitting and writhing in resistance. The soundtrack? Chamillionaire’s 2005 banger “Ridin’,” famously known for the chorus, “They see me rollin’, they hatin’.” Fitting, no?
ICE captioned the video, “Refuse to walk? We’ll give you a ride,” in a post on X this past Sunday. The footage, equal parts hilarious and sobering, has since garnered over 8.4 million views and more than 113,000 likes. Naturally, it also sparked the usual pearl-clutching from progressive corners of social media, with critics calling the agency’s actions “repulsive.” Because of course they did.

ICE declined to comment further on the arrest when contacted by The New York Post, but the video speaks volumes. If you refuse lawful orders and act like a feral animal, don’t be surprised when you’re treated like one.
The video coincides with a bold move by President Trump, who has once again proven he’s not afraid to act when Democrat-led cities descend into lawlessness. Over the weekend, Trump defied a federal court order and deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, following violent anti-ICE protests. These weren’t your run-of-the-mill “peaceful” protests the media loves to glorify. Think tear gas, pepper spray, and federal agents clashing with mobs outside the ICE processing facility on South Macadam Avenue.
California Governor Gavin Newsom whined about it on X, claiming, “After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon.” Yes, Gavin, because someone has to do the job your fellow Democrats refuse to.
Trump had earlier directed his Secretary of War (that’s right—War), Pete Hegseth, to deploy “all necessary troops” and to use “full force” to defend ICE agents from what he described as “domestic terrorists.” You know, the ones hurling projectiles and barricading federal buildings while chanting slogans about open borders and abolishing law enforcement.
Oregon, naturally, filed a lawsuit in a desperate attempt to block the deployment. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who was actually appointed by Trump, ruled that sending active-duty troops to Portland would violate the Constitution and federal law prohibiting military involvement in domestic law enforcement. In her ruling, she bizarrely claimed the protests were “small and uneventful,” and criticized Trump’s assessment as “untethered to the facts.”
Well, Judge, maybe try standing in front of the ICE facility while it’s under siege and inhaling a few lungfuls of tear gas before writing off the chaos as “uneventful.”
This isn’t the first time Portland has devolved into anarchy under the guise of activism. For years, it’s been a playground for radicals who treat federal officers like enemy combatants while demanding immunity from consequences. And every time law enforcement steps in to do the job local officials won’t, the Left loses its collective mind.
So here’s the bottom line: when protesters decide they’re above the law and act like unhinged revolutionaries, they get wheeled out like luggage. It’s not cruelty—it’s consequences.
Maybe next time, try walking.
