Emiru posted a public statement addressing a viral clip that showed her appearing confused when asked about ICE.
The clip spread quickly on Twitter, showing a moment from her stream where someone asked for her thoughts on ICE. She seemed uncertain what was being referenced, then said she doesn’t follow politics and wouldn’t comment.
The clip drew immediate criticism. Critics interpreted it as either genuine ignorance about Immigration and Customs Enforcement or an attempt to dodge taking a stance on the controversial federal agency.
In her statement, Emiru called the clip “dishonest and intentionally maliciously clipped.” She said she never made comments on stream about ICE in the first place and that the viral framing misrepresented what actually happened.
She clarified her actual position: she’s against ICE. She also emphasized that she’s not a political commentator and doesn’t want people looking to her for political takes.
The statement went beyond just the clip. Emiru addressed broader criticism about her associations with other streamers, particularly Asmongold, Tectone, and Lacari. These creators have faced their own controversies, leading some viewers to pressure Emiru to publicly distance herself.
Her statement suggested she’s no longer associating with certain people, though she didn’t name names directly. Commenters interpreted this as her cutting ties with controversial figures she previously collaborated with.
ICE has been at the center of political arguments since Donald Trump unleashed them on America. The agency handles immigration enforcement, deportations, and detention operations that critics say are inhumane. Public figures often face pressure to state their position on the agency.
