A video of a Chinese-American University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) student, Jamie Han, delivering a passionate speech that includes the line 'f**k ICE and f**k the Trump administration' has recently gone viral. The clip was originally shared by Jamie on her Instagram in June but has recently blown up across social media platforms. In the video, Jamie becomes visibly emotional as she calls out Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Trump administration while her professors and fellow students applaud.
Right-wing trolls harass Han online, demand deportation with hateful comments
The viral clip has drawn severe backlash from right-wing social media users, who have targeted Jamie with harassment and racist comments. On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), users are sharing the video alongside captions such as 'Go back to China' and 'Deport her right now.' These trolls are demanding her deportation and using the speech as fuel to attack immigrants more broadly.
A popular X page, Libs of TikTok, shared the video with the caption, 'Valedictorian: 'F**k ICE and f**k the Trump administration.' Why does she want foreign criminals terrorising American cities and breaking our laws??? Obviously not very smart… So stunning and brave…'

The post quickly went viral, inviting backlash from right-wing social media users in the comments section. One commented, 'Pull their funding. Yes, she has a right to free speech, but certain things are just not appropriate for the circumstances. If she is speaking, she is representing the institution. Her words could cost the school.' 'What a disgrace. She should be ashamed, her parents should be ashamed, and her school should be ashamed," one user wrote.
'And if any of you had any doubts about it: look at how the Dean or faculty behind her applaud vigorously! I hope recruiters have a good look at her and say : 'Sorry, not you, honey!'' commented one person.
An individual shared, "A good enough reason to ensure that your child never goes to that school!'

Full speech reveals more than viral moment, expresses immigrant pride and gratitude
The viral snippet only captures a portion of Jamie's full speech. In her complete address, Jamie reflected on her experience as a first-generation immigrant and thanked UCLA for providing a space to grow and nurture her. She said, 'I think it's safe to say our college experience has been nothing short of unprecedented... At a time when education, free speech, and democracy itself is being threatened... in a country that not only refuses to protect but actively persecutes, scapegoats, and villainises the indisputable backbone of immigrants who make America what it is.'
Jamie continued, 'As a first-generation immigrant myself, and as a now citizen who has the privilege of not having to fear for my life every second of the day... I say, fuck ICE and fuck the Trump administration.' She urged critics to 'go touch grass' and 'find something, anything, less embarrassing and pathetic to do with your life than going around on a psychotic power trip terrorising and tearing apart families of hard-working, law-abiding, tax-paying folks.'
Jamie remains unfazed, updates viral video caption amid backlash
Despite the wave of online harassment, Jamie appears undeterred. Hours ago, she updated the caption on her viral video to read, 'Happy to announce I can now check getting booed by Trumpies off the bucket list!' Her response signals resilience in the face of aggressive trolling.
