The curvy Colombian TikTok influencer who specializes in wearing skimpy clothes while doxxing ICE agents and locations was arrested in Los Angeles, as PJ Media readers know. What we didn’t know at the time, however, is that Tatiana Martinez isn’t just in the U.S. illegally; she has been breaking the law since she entered the country during Joe Biden’s open borders invasion.
I reported over the weekend in the story “ICE Doxxer Is Busted While Livestreaming … and Suddenly a Tow Truck Shows Up” that Tatiana is a veritable modern-day Tokyo Rose, the Japanese spy who, during World War II, broadcast anti-American propaganda to U.S. soldiers..
TikTok Tatiana was dragged from her Tesla, which was parked in her apartment’s parking garage, by federal agents on Friday. As she resisted arrest, her long brown wig flew from her head.
On Monday, the DHS confirmed she was illegally in the U.S. and posted a message to X claiming that TikTok Tatiana, Leidy Tatiana Mafla-Martinez, is a “CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN from Colombia who was convicted for driving under the influence in Los Angeles.”
“Martinez entered the country in 2022 and was RELEASED by the Biden administration,” after her conviction, apparently, according to the message.
Why is L.A. supporting illegal alien convicted of DUI?
You bet we did, @Newsweek.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told PJ Media, “During her arrest, Martinez claimed to experience shortness of breath. She was given proper medical treatment and will be held in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”
y the time TikTok Tatiana is officially booted from the United States, we assume she’ll have caught her breath, perhaps collected her lingerie, and had her Tesla prepared for public auction by the feds.
I reported earlier:
Martinez’s TikTok livestream was interrupted by ICE agents as she spoke to her nearly 40,000 followers on Friday.

She grew her TikTok to 30k and would often share videos telling protestors and rioters where ICE agents would be. They pulled her from the Tesla she is in this video. pic.twitter.com/X7zQmBKvAk

Her account is full of reports broadcasting the locations of ICE and police actions.
McLaughlin also responded to PJ Media’s question about the story within this story: the ICE vehicle being towed away as agents arrested TikTok Tatiana. They’re investigating this episode and will prosecute the driver who “unlawfully towed” the ICE vehicle. I’ll be updating this part of the story.
Since TikTok Tatiana is being booted from the country, I asked Perplexity AI to commemorate her leave-taking with an ode.
Ode to TikTok Tatiana
In a parking garage, Friday’s glare,
TikTok Tatiana in the spotlight there—
A modern Tokyo Rose online,
Her messages and ICE entwined.
From Tesla’s seat, she cast her voice,
Broadcast warnings, made her choice;
But agents cut livestreamed fame,
Pulled Tatiana out—her wig took flight in shame.
A camera caught the frantic scene,
Doxxing ICE, caught in between;
A tow truck rolled in, stage complete—
Resistance, drama, swift defeat.
In history’s echo, tales retold:
From Tokyo Rose to stories bold,
A TikTok age records the cost—
Caught live, Tatiana’s freedom lost.

TikTok Tatiana isn’t simply a story of one woman’s efforts to get ICE officers injured or worse, it’s a story of fighting for the integrity of our country and its borders.
