People Are Getting Off to Porn About ICE Raids

On July 8, X account @superioritymale posted an update about ICE ’s ongoing crackdown on immigrants, describing the conditions being thrust upon detainees .

“Over 68,000 held in ICE detention centers around the United States, many of whom lack access to food, water, and any means to reach contact with their loved ones,” reads the post, which also includes a video. Only, the video wasn’t news footage from inside a detention center. It was a 14-second clip of a white man masturbating in a ski mask.

“Let me serve that cock massa,” replied @FreakedOut222.

Accounts like @superioritymale belong to a niche porn sphere on X where users project, and find sexual pleasure in, pro-MAGA messaging. Over the past two years under President Donald Trump’s second term, they appear to have become even more prevalent on the social media platform.

WIRED identified a dozen accounts, varying in reach and influence—some had tens of thousands of followers—but they all share a similar theme: the fantasy of white male domination. They promote the aesthetic of being a white god or alpha, post about “the natural order” and the “biological truth” white supremacy, while encouraging followers to claim their “birthright” as the ruling species.

The tone in many of the posts mirrors the extreme rhetoric often championed by the White House . In January, @malesupremacy13, whose bio reads “nazi-fascist” and “war is porn,” posted a list of “Things I jerk off to,” which included “Bombings of Gaza, LGBT rights being denied, gender inequality, [and] environment/plastic pollution.” In one video from last October, clips of white men engaging in various acts of straight and gay sex flicker like a highlight reel as Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” plays, and a giant text overlay in red, white, and blue reads: “JOIN ICE TODAY.” The X post, which implored followers to “HELP YOUR COUNTRY GET RID OF ILLEGAL CRIMINALS TODAY BRO,” included a link to ice.gov . (Springsteen has been one of Trump’s most vocal critics since entering office; while on tour in 2025 the singer said America was “in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”)

The White House and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment.

“MAGA porn fulfills that desire for the masculine and the powerful,” says Josh, a 25-year-old Columbus, Ohio, resident who is a fan of these accounts. Josh, who is bisexual, says he’s been a Trump voter since 2020. MAGA porn is an outlet to deal with the “the strict requirements of performative liberalism” from some gay men in the community who pretend to care about issues that don’t matter to them, he adds. “You wouldn't understand the amount of messages I get from guys telling me they've had enough of putting on a liberal facade. People want to indulge in something a bit naughty and, you know, maybe they can be convinced to vote MAGA.” (Given the explicit nature of the trend and citing professional concerns, Josh asked to be identified by first name only.)
