Ben Bergquam
Ben Bergquam is a right-wing media activist and online personality who has been documented accompanying and filming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. He is not identified as an ICE employee or sworn federal agent, but has repeatedly appeared alongside immigration enforcement actions, producing and distributing video content that supports and promotes enforcement activity.[1]
His presence during arrests and raids has drawn scrutiny from journalists and lawmakers, particularly regarding the role of non-government media figures embedded in or adjacent to federal enforcement operations and the impact this has on transparency, accountability, and the safety of those involved.[2]
Bergquam’s activities are cited in reporting that examines the relationship between immigration enforcement agencies and partisan media influencers who film arrests and disseminate footage through social media platforms and video-sharing sites.[1]
