The Department of Homeland Security joined a controversial conversation with a meme, and people are not having it.

The social media accounts of government officials have been raising eyebrows lately, but what happened this week has left people speechless.

The latest controversy stems from the recent drama between Vice President JD Vance and the X user known as 'derek guy' or 'Menswear Guy.'

The popular X user has built a following by critiquing politicians' fashion choices, and Vance's suits have been a frequent target of his commentary.

But 'derek guy' changed shifted his humorous tone when he shared a deeply personal story about how his family fled the Vietnam War. In a lengthy post, he explained how his mother brought him from Canada to the US as a baby without proper documentation.

He used his story to criticise President Trump's immigration policies as 'inhumane' and encourage support for those who may be facing current deportation.

But things escalated quickly when some users tagged Vance in the post, suggesting he respond in the 'funniest way possible.'

In response, the Vice President posted a menacing Jack Nicholson meme from the movie Anger Management which was interpreted as a deportation threat.

That single interaction was enough to get Vance slammed by the social media platform.

And now, the official Homeland Security X account has joined the meme train.

After someone replied to the original thread claiming, 'the menswear guy just openly admitted on here that he’s here illegally,' Homeland decided to communicate through a children's movie GIF.

Instead of posting a professional statement or staying out of the discussion entirely, the agency quote-tweeted with a Spy Kids 2 GIF showing the character Juni Cortez putting on enhanced green spy glasses.

Understandably, the casual response has been largely negative, with many users expressing genuine shock that a federal agency would handle such a sensitive topic with memes.


"I dont want my federal govt posting memes," one X user wrote.

Others were more direct in their criticism, arguing: "Why is the government posting memes? What kind of country is this?"

The frustration was palpable in many responses, with someone else exclaiming: "Memes? You people are a f****** joke," while another requested: "I’d like mature adults to run the government’s media accounts."

Meanwhile, the post did receive some support from pro-Trump and anti-immigration users. Many of them have been backing the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations amid recent protests in Los Angeles.
