A massive new TikTok trend has blown up, showing millions of people exactly what they’re setting up, following reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are reportedly conducting door-to-door raids without warrants. This trend, known as the “nastiest angle,” is a direct, aggressive pushback against federal agents and it is spreading like wildfire across the platform, as reported by Daily Dot.
This widespread reaction is particularly concerning for the administration because the videos are explicitly targeting ICE. The trend really took off right after an ICE agent named Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renée Good in Minneapolis as she was attempting to observe the agency’s activity. Soon after that incident, reports began surfacing of agents allegedly going door-to-door in immigrant neighborhoods, demanding papers and breaking down doors without the necessary legal documentation.
This kind of warrantless entry is a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment, a fact that a judge confirmed in a ruling just recently. Americans are famously protective of their constitutional rights, especially those who own firearms. Arizona Attorney General recently confirmed that it might even be legal to fire upon masked ICE agents. These two factors combined have produced a flood of videos demonstrating the defensive angles people can achieve if their doors are breached.

The videos are absolutely racking up views. One clip by user @2020dennis has gained a staggering 8.8 million views alone. It shows the user lying on top of cabinets in a laundry room with a gun balanced atop the entryway, pointed outward. The caption is pretty clear, reading, “POV: You’re trying to call, but ICE is going door to door, and I’ve got the nastiest angle.”
Another user, @edenthebus, posted a four-million-view video showing him perched just above his front door with a rifle. “If you break down this door,” he wrote, “Just know I’ve experienced pushing a squad of 3 in ABI.” This is serious stuff, and it’s not just young gun owners participating. Even middle-aged nurses, like the user @recovery.means.life, are getting over a million views by joining in on the movement.
This sort of posting definitely carries a risk. Federal agents have a history of showing up on people’s doorsteps because of “jokes” or perceived threats made online, sometimes labeled as “fedposting.” Pointing a weapon at your front door and calling out ICE could certainly qualify as a threat, but that hasn’t stopped the momentum. The hashtag #nastiestangle on TikTok already boasts over 135 videos, and that count doesn’t even include the countless clips that aren’t specifically tagged.
If these posts qualify as actionable statements, the FBI is going to need to clock some serious overtime. Commentators are pointing out that this kind of violent, mass ire directed at federal agents is truly a historic moment.
Popular TikToker @johnridgeway thinks this whole thing is far from a joke, predicting that the trend represents a genuine threat to ICE agents. He’s wondering what the agents expect to happen. “Genuinely, what are these ICE agents going to expect if they actually go through with this door-to-door thing?” he asked. “Do they think people aren’t going to eventually retaliate?”
Another user, @hawkpodcasts, echoed that sentiment, noting that the agency’s actions created this scenario. He said, “That’s the energy, man, that your workplace has created, is where people are willingly posting videos of themselves on the internet being like, ‘yeah, if you come into my house I’m going to f— kill you.'” It seems the administration’s actions are directly fueling an intense, widespread, and potentially dangerous backlash.
