UAE has introduced a nomination-based Golden #Visa for Indian citizens offering lifetime residency for a one-time fee of nearly ₹23 lakh. Earlier pathways required a minimum investment of ₹5 cr in real estate or business commitments.
Publisher’s rating: misleading
Related reporting describes the ₹23.3 lakh route as nomination-based, but says applicants are vetted and the UAE government makes the final decision; the fee alone does not guarantee approval. One report calls the scheme a pilot project, while another says applicants must demonstrate their potential contribution to the UAE. This supports the assessment that presenting the fee as sufficient for lifetime residency is misleading.

Behauptung: Ein TikTok-Post,der bislang über zwei Millionen Mal angeschaut wurde, zeigt angeblich einen Bericht des Nachrichtensenders FOX. Zu sehen sei eine ICE-Razzia auf den Feldern einer Farm, bei der Migranten festgenommen werden..
Publisher’s rating: DW Faktencheck: Fake Dieses Video wurde von einem TikTok-Account geteilt, der dafür bekannt ist, KI-generierte Inhalte über ICE zu veröffentlichen. Viele dieser Videos ähneln traditionellen Nachrichtensendungen - Fälschungen, die immer häufiger auftreten. Bei genauer Betrachtung des Videos fallen Ungereimtheiten und unlogische Sprünge auf: Menschen scheinen beispielsweise durch andere Personen hindurchzulaufen; Teile des Videos werden unscharf, wirken unnatürlich und zeigen technische Fehler, etwa wenn Personen hinfallen. In Sekunde 3 verschmelzen mehrere Menschen zu einer einzigen Masse.
Behauptung: Ein virales TikTok-Videostellt ähnliche Behauptungen auf und zeigt sechs Fotos, die angeblich aktuelle US-Abschiebungen zeigen sollen.
Publisher’s rating: DW Faktencheck: Irreführend Verschiedene Bilder-Rückwärtssuchen (hier, hier, hier und hier) zeigen,dass lediglich drei der sechs gezeigten Fotos eine Verbindung zu ICE-Abschiebungen in den USA haben. Die unteren drei wurden aus dem Kontext gerissen und stammen nicht aus den USA. Das unterste Foto wurde am 11. Februar 2020 in Bangladesch aufgenommenund zeigt Rettungskräfte in blauen Anzügen, die die Leiche eines Rohingya-Flüchtlings tragen, der bei einem Bootsunglück ums Leben kam. Das Foto darüber zeigt 74 Leichen, die von der Hilfsorganisation Roter Halbmond am 20. Februar 2017 in Zawiya, Libyen, geborgen wurden. Das dritte Foto (von unten) wurde am 14. Februar 2023 im libyschen Qasr al-Akhyar aufgenommen und zeigt die Schuhe von Migranten, die nach dem Kentern ihres Bootes verstorben waren.
