A Virginia nurse was seen in a series of now-deleted TikTok videos sharing ways for medical professionals to “sabotage” ICE agents with syringes full of succinylcholine, which temporarily paralyzes muscles.
The nurse, who went by Redheadredemption on TikTok, encouraged doctors and nurses to “grab some syringes with needles on the end” and “have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever,” adding “that will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.”
In another video, she was seen dressed in scrubs while calling on others to soak poison ivy in water and to put the solution into water guns to shoot at ICE agents’ faces.
She also shared in a separate post a call for single women to find ICE agents on dating apps and then put laxatives in their drinks on dates.
“All the single ladies where these ICE guys are going have a chance to do something, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure. Get on Tinder, get on Hinge, find these guys, they’re around,” she said.
“If they’re an ICE agent, bring some ex-lax and put it in their drinks, get ’em sick. Nobody’s gonna die, it’s just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day.”
Meet Melinda, a healthcare worker at @VCUHealth. She posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylocholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and spray poison on them. She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food.

“Highly easily deniable, you could get sick, too. Won’t eat there again. I’m just sayin’, let’s get ’em where they eat, somebody’s not gonna be supporting these guys, where’s the hotel where they eat? Who makes their breakfast? Let’s find them.”
“Let’s make their lives f*cking miserable.”
At one point, she also urged hotel employees to hide “dead fish” in ICE agents’ hotel rooms.
Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health, the woman’s employer, and the VCU Police have opened an investigation into the posts, Fox News reported Tuesday.
“We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care. We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system,” VCU told Fox News Digital in a statement. “The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system.”
“VCU Police are assisting with this investigation,” the university continued. “Per policy, while the investigation is underway, the individual is on administrative leave and will not be in our facilities or interacting with patients.”
