Bryce Mitchell has issued a sharp condemnation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement accusing the agency of operating as a domestic terrorist organization that violates constitutional rights and targets innocent families. In the latest episode of his podcast ArkanSanity the MMA star presented what he described as evidence of systematic abuse unlawful detentions and violence against U.S. citizens and immigrants alike.
Mitchell’s accusations come amid heightened ICE enforcement operations under the Donald Trump administration. The MMA star disputed recent government claims about major dr**g b**ts specifically questioning a reported seizure of 20,000 pounds of c***ine which equals roughly 9,070 kilograms (9,070 kg).
“I personally do not believe they got 20,000 pounds of c*caine,”
Mitchell linked the announcement to what he described as a pattern of government deception following the killing of twelve Venezuelan fishermen weeks earlier. The Arkansas native presented several documented cases to support his allegations and highlighted George Reetes an Iraq combat veteran who was pepper sprayed dragged from his car and detained for three days despite showing proper identification. Mitchell noted that Reetes missed his daughter’s third birthday and expressed outrage that a veteran who served the country could be treated this way.
Another case Mitchell cited involved Eric Corno a U.S. citizen who was pepper sprayed and thrown to the pavement despite presenting his driver’s license and insurance. Mitchell emphasized that Corno’s only apparent cr**e was having brown skin. Video evidence of the incident showed ICE agents using force before verifying citizenship status.
Mitchell reserved particular anger for incidents involving children and families. He referenced footage of babies being pepper sprayed during ICE operations and a pastor sh*t in the head with a beanbag g*n while praying outside his church.
“You pepper spray a baby. Oh, you coward,”
He also discussed Wilmer Martinez who was attacked by ICE dogs after being lured outside under false pretenses and a mother abducted immediately after giving birth leaving her newborn in intensive care.
According to Mitchell’s research 87% of people detained by ICE have nonviolent noncriminal backgrounds not so much as a parking ticket. He argued that agents are pulling up to job sites and detaining working class Mexican Americans who contribute to society through construction agriculture and other essential labor.
The MMA star questioned why ICE agents wear masks during operations contrasting this with military personnel in combat zones and local police who show their faces. He suggested that agents are scared to show their faces and alleged that some may be foreign operatives specifically mentioning IDF soldiers.
Mitchell also condemned what he described as concentration camp style detention facilities housing thousands of children in inhumane conditions. He showed images of restraint devices that fully encase detainees and argued that the facilities create opportunities for child trafficking by documented pedophile networks.
Drawing on his Christian faith Mitchell cited Deuteronomy 24:17 and challenged fellow Christians who support ICE operations.
“If you take that heart of yours that’s filled up with hate and you stand before the gates of heaven, I promise you’re not getting through.”
Mitchell’s most pointed criticism targeted the Department of Homeland Security for using Proverbs 28:1 in promotional materials to justify operations he views as br**al.
“I can’t think of a better way to twist scripture and get yourself a VIP seat in hell,”
The MMA star believes ICE operations serve a darker purpose weakening America by removing what he described as some of the nation’s strongest competitors before an impending conflict. He warned that targeting one group inevitably leads to targeting others and concluded with a message that this approach threatens everyone.
