Note: The following Twitchy story contains satire.
A TikTok user recently posted a video that she claims shows that illegal aliens are so afraid of ICE that some have abandoned still-running lawnmowers to escape arrest and deportation. The staged video was meant to create empathy, but has largely generated laughs.
Here’s the video. (WATCH)
The left on TikTok are just getting pathetic at this point.

“The lawnmower was left running. Now they are gone 😭😭😭.”
Totally fake but even if it were true, that would be absolutely hilarious! 🤣 pic.twitter.com/6BTpbXS9DQ
You have to admit it's funny!

We do!
Commenters were quick to see the unintentional humor in the video and started coming up with different scenarios to explain the sudden disappearance of the illegal alien.
😂😂😂😂

Like they were abducted by space aliens.
Just disappeared!!

It’s like an illegal alien Rapture, and Jesús called him home.
Other posters chose to fall back on the two things that get blamed for every situation nowadays.
Isn’t that attributed to climate change? 🤣

Trump and climate change

Trump sent a hurricane to sweep them right up!
Commenters saw this as a chance to play ‘finders keepers.’
Honda? That's a good mower.

Sweet. I would have a better mower than what I have!

Upgrade!
Posters have some closing thoughts and observations.
I want to see more like this. Especially with that Mexican restaurant music in the background. Well done.

Why is it still running? Did the owner bypass the kill switch? If the owner was taken away, the neighborhoods they worked in are now safer.

Not a cut blade of grass or a line in sight. weird

The person taking the video is the person who is mowing the lawn. Do liberal idiots think everyone is ignorant like them.

Tom Homan must have donned the Deportation Gauntlet. That’s got to be it!
