A man in Cleveland, Ohio, called an ICE hotline and allegedly faked an accent in an attempt to provoke a response for content. During the call, a federal employee referred to him as “Jose” and threatened to show up at his door.
The content creator in question is Putagirlon, who is known for a series of TikToks in which he calls various places and establishments, asking them to “put a girl on” the phone. After attempting the bit with a police station and a British pub, the Ohio-based creator has now turned his attention to calling ICE.
From the outset, Putagirlon trolled the ICE tip line operator by speaking in what appeared to be a made-up language—essentially gibberish. Unable to understand a word, the specialist informed him that he would bring in a translator. Moments later, however, Putagirlon began speaking perfect English.
“Why are you wasting my time with gibberish? Get straight to the point—in English.” the specialist said.
Putagirlon, however, remained adamant that he was not wasting the specialist’s time. In a heavily accented voice, he said, “Lose the disrespect when you talk to me. I’m calling for a specific reason, and I need you to hear me out.”
The specialist then asked whether the Ohio man was Indian or Mexican, whether he was in the United States legally, and whether his accent was fabricated.
“I’m here legally. I don’t know why would you assume I’m not. I have some information,” Putonagirl said.
Internet Reacts to Ohio TikToker Prank Call
The ICE specialist, however, was not amused by the stunt. He reminded the TikToker that he had called a federal hotline—not a number meant for pranks or games. Still, the Ohio man persisted, telling the specialist there was an “ICE agent that can’t put a girl on.”
Putagirlon was told that his phone number would be tracked and that ICE would arrive at his front door. The specialist then referred to him as “Jose.”
“Put a girl on,” the man demanded, just before the call ended.
Many commenters mocked the ICE specialist in the comments section. One wrote, “Even their phone operators act like tough guys.” Another added, “They can’t control their emotions when confronted with anything different.”
Others, however, voiced concern for Putagirlon, pointing out that prank-calling ICE is considered a crime and could potentially lead to felony charges. One user warned, “This might be the one that gets you in trouble.”
The call described above was only the second in Putagirlon’s series of ICE calls. Based on his behavior, he is likely to keep calling until a female representative answers, since no one is going to “put a girl on” simply for his amusement.
