Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health and VCU Police have started investigating a nurse working at the hospital after a series of videos about fighting back against federal law enforcement officers were uncovered online.

"We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care. We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system," VCU told Fox News. "The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system."

"VCU Police are assisting with this investigation," the university continued. "While the investigation is underway, the individual is on administrative leave and will not be in our facilities or interacting with patients."

The VCU nurse authorities are investigating owned a now-deleted TikTok account named Redheadredemption, which was identified through an employee at VCU Health. The LibsOfTikTok posted a compilation of her three main videos on TikTok, which went viral.

In one video, captioned "#ice #resistance #sabotage," the woman instructed viewers to use a "sabotage tactic" she thought of against opponents.

"Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end," she said. "Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe."

Succinylcholine is an anesthetic that causes rapid, short-acting muscle paralysis.

In another video, she suggests using water infused with poison ivy to use against federal officers.

"OK for today's resistance tip, I vote — anybody got any poison ivy, poison oak in their yard? Get some of that, with gloves, obviously, and get it in some water. Like a gallon of water. And get the poison ivy oak water and I'm going to put it into a water gun. Aim for faces, hands."

In a third video that was captioned "#staytoxic," the nurse sends a message to single women. She encouraged them to go on dates with ICE agents to spike their drinks.

"Single ladies, where these ICE guys are going, have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure," she said. "Get on Tinder, get on Hinge, find these guys. They're around. [If] they're an ICE agent, bring some ex-lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. You know, nobody's going to die. Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day. Highly, easily deniable."
