@ICEgov had recently posted a news item about a major sex trafficking bust, prompting some Twitter followers to assume a connection.
About 4 p.m., ICE officials announced that a "technical glitch" had temporarily disabled its social media account.
“No hackers, no rogue employees. We had a technical glitch and we appreciate the Twitter team’s help in bringing us back online. Stay tuned here for more great news about the work that the men and women of ICE do every day to protect the homeland,” @ICEgov announced.
Accounts that have been removed with the language “account doesn’t exist” typically signal the account owner deleted the page.
That fact prompted other Twitter users to speculate the deleted account had something to do with President-elect Joe Biden's transition after defeating President Trump.
