A new transparency feature on X has ignited a political firestorm after screenshots circulated online claiming the US Department of Homeland Security’s official account was listed as being based in Israel. The tool, which appeared over the weekend, lets users view an account’s current or previous location by tapping the join-date field. While designed to expose foreign-run troll farms, many of which masquerade as American political voices, it instead triggered a wave of speculation about high-profile accounts, including a series of MAGA-branded profiles that appeared to originate from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
