The FBI believes women pretending to be tradwives are targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in order to dox them, The Guardian reported Thursday.

In February, the FBI in Chicago disseminated a brief memo warning that a “small group of women allegedly were creating fictitious online dating profiles with the purpose of attracting and then doxxing law enforcement participating in immigration enforcement.”

“These profiles were incorporating imagery of a ‘traditional wife’ aesthetic and listing specific interests in an attempt to appeal to … individuals in law enforcement,” the memo continued. “The objective was to lure affiliated law enforcement personnel into an online or in-person interaction under the guise of a date, after which the individuals would be publicly exposed and doxed online. The tactic is intended to generate public embarrassment and deter immigration enforcement activity.”

The memo came shortly after Chaya Raichik, the conservative influencer behind LibsofTikTok, sounded the alarm about groups of TikTokers who were organizing to lure federal agents onto dates and expose their personal information. Her post did not include any mention of “tradwives.” It is unclear if Raichik’s claims were true.

These people are unbelievably gullible

Welp, those ladies have more balls than I do!

For real though, if you're targeting armed idiots who are itching for a fight and generally above the law, it cannot be stressed enough: FUCKING BE CAREFUL! These assholes have the self control of toddler who's never heard the word 'no', and the ability to take your freedom or life on a whim. That is an insanely terrible combo.

I'm kind of curious if some twinks are doing the same on Grindr with a little help from their bear friends.
