A nurse working at Virginia Commonwealth University Health has been placed on administrative leave following the emergence of disturbing TikTok videos where she outlined methods to disrupt and harm Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The content, which quickly spread across social media, prompted an immediate investigation by VCU Police and the health system.
In one video, captioned “#ice #resistance #sabotage,” the nurse suggested: “All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end… Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.” Another clip, titled “#resist,” showed her in scrubs proposing to use poison ivy or oak infused in water guns aimed at agents’ faces and hands.
The videos didn’t stop there. Under the handle @mindarose8, also known as Redheadredemption, she encouraged single women to date ICE agents via apps like Tinder or Hinge and slip ex-lax into their drinks to incapacitate them. “Let’s make their lives f—— miserable,” she said in one post captioned “#staytoxic.”
These suggestions crossed into territory that could endanger lives, all while promoting a so-called “resistance” against federal law enforcement that is trying to stop the robberies, assaults, kidnappings, rapes, and murders being committed by illegal aliens.
VCU Health responded swiftly, confirming the individual as an employee and stating the videos do not align with their commitment to patient safety and institutional integrity.
“We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care,” the statement read, adding that the nurse is barred from facilities and patient contact during the probe. The account was deleted after the clips went viral, thanks in part to reposts by accounts like LibsOfTikTok.
This incident unfolds against a backdrop of intensified ICE operations under President Trump’s second term, where efforts to secure borders and enforce immigration laws have ramped up. Reports from various states, including Minnesota and Maine, indicate heightened tensions, with recent ICE raids leading to confrontations with radical protesters. Some observers question whether such videos are isolated rants or part of a coordinated pushback from elements within public institutions opposed to these policies.
Critics argue that allowing such rhetoric to fester in healthcare settings erodes trust in professionals tasked with saving lives, not plotting against those upholding the law. When individuals in positions of authority advocate for sabotage, it raises alarms about deeper influences at play—perhaps remnants of past administrations’ open-border sympathizers still embedded in academia and medicine.
As the investigation proceeds, questions linger about accountability. Will this lead to criminal charges, or is it just another example of radical activism shielded by institutional bureaucracy? The public deserves transparency, especially when federal agents’ safety is at stake in an already volatile environment.
In the end, incidents like this reveal the stark divide in how Americans view border security and law enforcement. With ICE agents facing real threats on the ground, calls for sabotage from within trusted professions only heighten the risks for those protecting the nation.
