Amid the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign, some social media users have shared an image that appears to show U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers  arresting a man wearing a shirt that says “Latinos for Trump 2024.” 

He’s flanked by three officers wearing vests that say “Police” and “ICE.”

“We warned you guys and now Latino Trump supporters who voted for him are getting harassed too,” said one Jan. 28 Instagram post that shared the image.

It was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

The image was altered. The original image does show officers arresting people suspected of violating immigration laws in 2018 at a Salem, Ohio, meat processor. It was one of the largest workplace immigration raids in U.S. history, WFMJ reported.  

In the original image, the officers’ vests say Police” and “HSI,” which is an abbreviation for Homeland Security Investigations. However, the shirt of the man the officers are detaining does not say “Latinos for Trump 2024,” or anything supporting President Donald Trump. 

“US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents arrested alleged immigration violators at Fresh Mark, Salem, June 19, 2018,” a caption for the photo on Getty Images’ website said, referring to the Fresh Mark meat processing plant where officers executed a criminal search warrant in June 2018.

We rate claims this image shows officers arresting someone wearing  a “Latinos for Trump 2024” shirt in 2025 False.
