In January 2026, Cyraxx posted a video in which he threatens to shoot and kill any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent attempting to set foot on his property<ref>https://rumble.com/v74f1ow-cyraxx-01-16-26-bug-out-plan-delusions.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a</ref>. This video was done in the midst of an episode of heightened popular tension against the I.C.E. due to their rampant abuse of power and the shooting of a Minneapolis left-wing activist in highly questionable circumstances. Cyraxx was ostensibly attempting to exploit the latest headlines to seek attention, since it would be quite off-character of him to get involved in an issue that not only far surpasses his critical thinking and comprehension abilities, but that also does not [[Ego|directly affect him]]. | In January 2026, Cyraxx posted a video in which he threatens to shoot and kill any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent attempting to set foot on his property<ref>https://rumble.com/v74f1ow-cyraxx-01-16-26-bug-out-plan-delusions.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a</ref>.

As a matter of fact, he believes that the I.C.E.'s task is to combat drug trafficking, confusing its role with the [[wikipedia:Drug_Enforcement_Administration|D.E.A]].'s. He furthermore makes no mention of key points like the immigrants they target or the killed activist that had recently made the headlines, hinting that his understanding of the agency is limited to guys taking people from the street and killing at least one person. | ||
As an amusing aside, Cyraxx shows the audience his idea of a bug out bag (essentially an emergency short-term survival kit). Although it contains no food or water, it comes with two laptops, a screwdriver, five different ways to start a fire and CDs to use a makeshift shurikens. | As an amusing aside, Cyraxx shows the audience his idea of a bug out bag (essentially an emergency short-term survival kit).

A few days later, the video was reposted on Twitter/X by far-right pundit Chaya Raichik on her ''The Libs of TikTok'' account, using Cyraxx as a strawman of the anti-ICE movement and the left wing in general. ''The Libs of TikTok'' eventually discovered about Cyraxx's previous arrests and his history of [[Pedophilia|predatory behaviors]], exposing his sordid past to several millions of users. This marked the first time that Cyraxx became viral to a mainstream audience, even briefly reaching the top 5 of the most trending topics on Twitter/X. | A few days later, the video was reposted on Twitter/X by far-right pundit Chaya Raichik on her ''The Libs of TikTok'' account, using Cyraxx as a strawman of the anti-ICE movement and the left wing in general.

Despite Cyraxx being a misoginyst as well as making copious use of [[Bigotry|racial and antisemitic slurs]], other right-wing pundits depicted him as being left-wing and "woke" solely on the basis of his video against the ICE. It should be reminded that Cyraxx is far too self-centered and sheltered to develop any genuine political opinion. He simply parrots whatever's currently relevant for attention seeking and nothing else, regardless of the issue's position on the political compass. | Despite Cyraxx being a misoginyst as well as making copious use of [[Bigotry|racial and antisemitic slurs]], other right-wing pundits depicted him as being left-wing and "woke" solely on the basis of his video against the ICE.

Notwithstanding the I.C.E.'s reputation, Cyraxx's video was extremely reckless at the very best. If he wanted to speak out against the issue, he could have chosen to encourage people to stay safe or simply say that I.C.E. agents would be turned back and not allowed in. However, Cyraxx did not want to miss the opportunity to stroke his ego by playing "Billy badass" and threatening to shoot and kill people. | ||

Likely after realizing that becoming viral for threatening to murder federal agents was most likely gonna bring some ''big'' trouble to his doorstep, Cyraxx attempted to rewrite history trying to accuse The Libs of TikTok of "chopping up" the audio to make it seem like he was threatening to kill | Likely after realizing that becoming viral for threatening to murder federal agents was most likely gonna bring some ''big'' trouble to his doorstep, Cyraxx attempted to rewrite history trying to accuse The Libs of TikTok of "chopping up" the audio to make it seem like he was threatening to kill I.C.E. agents. This is a blatant lie, as by that time multiple archive channels reposted the full unedited video with the death threat included. | ||
