807,000 is really not that many subscribers in this day and age.

"US homeland security put out alert on comedian who created parody ICE tip website | US immigration" | The Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/21/dhs-bolo-ben-palmer-parody-ice-tip-website

"The alert was headlined 'online immigration impersonation' and noted that Palmer, who is a US citizen, 'operates a satirical website impersonating a submission form, which acts as a mechanism for reporting suspected illegal aliens.' The Bolo included a screenshot from Palmer’s spoof tip website and two screenshots from his YouTube channel, which had 807,000 subscribers at the time it was captured, along with his photograph."

Well I didn't actually subscribe to it either. Anyways, I am taking the time to read about it now, however.
