Derry YouTuber Launches Legal Action After Malicious Reddit ICE Reports
Derry YouTuber Launches Legal Investigation After Malicious Reddit ICE Reports
Derry YouTuber Adam McIntyre has launched legal action after Reddit users reported him to ICE on false claims that he was in the US on an incorrect visa.
IrishCentral 13 JUL 2025
Adam McIntyre, a YouTuber from Co Derry who holds an Irish passport, is speaking out after Reddit users reported him to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE on the basis of false claims.
Adam McIntyre has initiated a formal legal investigation in response to serious defamatory actions perpetrated by individuals associated with the subreddit known as /AdamMcIntyreSnark, a July 7 post on McIntyres Instagram page reads.
It has come to our attention that members of this subreddit have knowingly submitted false and malicious reports to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, alleging fraudulent activity concerning Mr. McIntyres
Immigration Status
These claims are entirely baseless and constitute both defamation and false reporting to federal authorities, which are offenses under U.S. law
However, a Reddit user misinterpreted the picture of McIntyres visa and claimed that he had traveled to the US on an R1 visa, which permits visitors to work as a minister or in a religious vocation or occupation in the US.
The Reddit user posted his claim to the now banned Adam McIntyre Snark subreddit. On Reddit, a snark subreddit is generally used for users to discuss what they dont like about creators.
McIntyre said in his YouTube video that throughout his career, he has supported snark pages and felt people should be able to say what they want.
However, this incident, he said, has crossed a line.
