Social media users are claiming to show migrants forcing themselves past police in 2025. One user wrote, “These folks breakin down barriers to get into the US are in for a rude awakening…Tom Homan ain’t playin around.”

This claim is misleading. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that the video is from 2023, not 2025. It shows Venezuelan illegal immigrants forcing their way onto the international bridge between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso.
