Social media commentator Chaya Raichik’s Libs of TikTok account is calling for charges against current Phoenix City Councilwoman and former Arizona State Senator Anna Hernandez (D) after she allegedly posted a warning threatening the security of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and interfering with their legal operations.
In a now-deleted post, screen-captured by Libs of TikTok, Hernandez allegedly wrote, “ALERT/ALERTA” and provided an address in Phoenix where ICE Agents were observed to be operating, along with the main cross streets. She wrote, “ICE IS PRESENT/LA MIGRA ESTÁ PRESENTE” and provided a phone number for a “línea de Defensa” or line of defense, which traces back to the Puente Human Rights Movement, an illegal immigrant advocacy organization.
Libs of TikTok wrote, “Anna Hernandez (D), a Former Arizona State Senator and current Phoenix Councilwoman, made a post on her Instagram doxxing ICE’s live location. She’s interfering with ICE and helping criminal illegals evade arrest. Charge her.”
In a follow-up video post to the platform, Hernandez advised her followers to “resist by:”
- “Demanding transparency from our new police chief
- Forcing MCSO to cut ties with ICE
- Investing in care, not criminalization
- Protecting each other at the neighborhood level”
She wrote that President Donald Trump “federalized D.C.’s police — even though violent crime is at a 30-year low. He deployed the National Guard, swept through historically Black neighborhoods, and targeted residents experiencing homelessness.”
She then claimed, “We’re already seeing PPD violate the rights of unhoused people and put immigrants at risk of deportation. A Trump takeover of PPD would only escalate this violence.
As recently as May, Hernandez was organizing demonstrations against ICE at Arizona’s federal immigration court in Phoenix, writing, “ICE is back, making arrests at Phoenix courts. Community with safe status, it’s time to stand up and make our voices heard!”
The allegations against Hernandez came just days after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was forced to relocate her personal residence due to increased threats to her person and family, along with “vicious doxxing,” described by a Homeland Security spokesman to Fox News.
“Following the media’s publishing of the location of Secretary Noem’s Washington D.C. apartment, she has faced vicious doxxing on the dark web and a surge in death threats, including from the terrorist organizations, cartels, and criminal gangs that DHS targets. Due to threats and security concerns, she has been forced to temporarily stay in secure military housing,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.
“Secretary Noem continues to pay rent for her Navy Yard residence,” she added. “It’s a shame that the media chooses sensationalism over the safety of people enforcing America’s laws to keep Americans safe.”
In July, ICE officers reported a massive increase in assaults, according to a memo sent by U.S. Homeland Security, with extremist groups targeting ICE personnel and their families through similar coordinated doxxing.
