A woman in Spanish Fork, Utah, noticed a group of high school students taking part in an anti-ICE protest. In an apparent attempt to counter their demonstration—and possibly provoke a reaction—she drove past them while blasting Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” from a boombox.
The viral clip was shared on TikTok by Kyrsti Hop, who said that students from Spanish Fork High School were participating in an ICE protest in the streets. As shown in her clip, many of them carried signs, some of them expletive, criticizing the federal law enforcement agency and telling agents to get out of their city and state.
However, Kyrsti, who is definitely not anti-ICE, decided to take matters into her own hands. In a way to counter the students’ protest, she got into her car, armed with a boombox. She took the music player and positioned it outside her front passenger window, and decided to play the 90s hit “Ice Ice Baby,” in an attempt to mock and trigger the protestors.
Apparently, it worked. Several pedestrians on the street began screaming, while the Utah woman laughed at their outrage. According to her, she drove past them multiple times while playing Vanilla Ice, saying she did it to “support our country and president.” She also tagged Turning Point USA, the White House, and right-wing influencer Patriotic Peach.
Viral Clip, Reactions
It appears that Kyrsti went out of her way to anger the high school ICE protesters. A quick review of the content she has shared online shows that she primarily focuses on lifestyle posts, many of which center on her horse, Rue.
The Utah woman’s clip went viral, garnering more than 3 million views and close to half a million likes. Thousands commented as well, some of them supportive of her “Ice Cold” counter-protest.
The clip drew so many reactions that Kyrsti ultimately disabled the comments, seemingly overwhelmed by its unexpected virality. Whether she will continue posting ICE-related content in the future remains to be seen.
