A coordinated group of women reportedly targeting ICE agents on dating apps in a scheme to expose and embarrass them sparked outrage with conservative and MAGA commentator Deneen Borelli during an appearance on Newsmax Sunday.

A Massachusetts woman claimed on social media to be operating a coordinated campaign to target Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to go on dates with them with the explicit intention of collecting personal information for the purpose of later exposing them online, the New York Post reported Saturday.

“We have these radical women who are using dating apps to trap ICE agents and to expose their information,” Borelli said. “So that is beyond bugging me. That's criminal, that is insane! I couldn't believe what I was reading!”

Borelli had appeared on Newsmax Sunday alongside her husband, conservative commentator and frequent Newsmax contributor Tom Borelli, who was asked by a Newsmax host why his wife was “on those dating agencies” to begin with.

“Think of the positive side, I might save some money!” Mr. Borelli joked.

The New York Post also reported on efforts to expose ICE agents using the app Grindr, a popular hook-up app among the LGBTQ community, with those involved in the campaign urging participants to solicit photos of ICE agents' genitalia to further humiliate them.

Trisha McLaughlin, assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, pledged to have anyone involved in the campaign prosecuted, she told the New York Post.

Borelli is a fierce critic of the Democratic Party and has been an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump. In 2020, she served as the co-chair of the Black Voices for Trump coalition.
