A viral TikTok video is drawing widespread attention after a Massachusetts creator claimed a group of women used dating apps to identify alleged Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, leaving some calling for “a miniseries.”
The claim comes from TikTok user Shannon Kincaid (@shannon.kincaid7), who describes what she says is a coordinated effort involving Tinder dates, social media research, and crowdsourced intelligence gathering targeting individuals suspected of working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). “That sounds fake, but it’s not,” Kincaid says in the video.
In Massachusetts, ICE activity has long been a subject of public debate, particularly in Boston and surrounding jurisdictions where “sanctuary city” policies limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
However, there is no verified public reporting confirming the specific claims made in the viral video.
There is some precedent for Kincaid’s post, though. In November, 2025, the New York Post reported on several similar operations, one in Massachusetts, similar to what Kincaid describes, and one in North Carolina called “Charlotte’s Web.”
The women on Tinder ICE resistance
According to Kincaid’s account, it began when a woman in Massachusetts allegedly organized a network of roughly 20 women who went on dates with men they believed could be ICE agents. At the same time, she claims a larger online group, reportedly around 1,000 people in a private Facebook community, was conducting background checks and connecting information on suspected federal immigration enforcement officers.
She further alleges that agents disclosed sensitive information during these encounters. “And the agents, they’re just talking on dates about their jobs, about raids. Like, yeah, we’re gonna be at this location tomorrow around 6,” she recounts, adding: “Sir, why are you saying that out loud to a stranger on Tinder who’s taking mental notes for a network?”
The video also claims participants identified masked ICE personnel operating without visible names or badges, and began compiling identifying information. Kincaid states, “No names, no badges, just vibes. And now suddenly, faces, names, receipts,” she says.
The women have a plan if one gets caught
Meanwhile, in one of the more controversial assertions, she adds that if participants were discovered or confronted, information would be sent to family members: “And if one of the women gets caught, no problem. They just send the chat logs to the agent’s wife,” Kincaid adds.
The TikTok further alleges a secondary angle involving ICE personnel appearing on LGBTQ dating platforms while deployed, which the narrator describes as expanding the scope of the investigation. A civil rights attorney is also referenced in the video as informally assisting the effort. Kincaid describes “a civil rights attorney driving around in an old beat up Honda Fit, like it’s Oceans 11 Community Organizer Edition.”
“And honestly, whatever you think about any of it, there’s something deeply funny about the fact that a massive federal agency might now have to sit down and say, hey, let’s don’t disclose classified information and operations on the first date,” Kincaid says.
