People Are Getting Off to Porn About ICE Raids
Wired reports on a niche subculture on X where users combine white supremacist rhetoric with pornographic content. These accounts use extremist political messaging to fetishize white male domination and support for hardline immigration policies.

It highlights the intersection of radicalization, social media platform moderation, and the mainstreaming of extremist ideologies within fringe online communities.
“Over 68,000 held in ICE detention centers around the United States, many of whom lack access to food, water, and any means to reach contact with their loved ones,” reads the post, which also includes a video.
