Apex Legends- Danny Immigration Call LIVE, DOA and LaraFM / June 2, 2024 / YouTube / mgQ2_mAAj1U
A YouTube stream documents coordinated agency reporting, personal information shared in chat, and a stated intention to locate a viewer’s address.
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, used a June 2, 2024 YouTube livestream to call U.S. Department of Homeland Security and report a critic he identifies as Danny on immigration-related grounds. D’Amato then shared what he described as Danny’s legal name and a DHS tip-line number in the chat, inviting viewers to file their own reports. The same stream included D’Amato’s account of a prior CPS call targeting a minor he identified as [S.], and a statement directed at a chatter that his investigators could locate her physical address. The stream is titled “Danny Immigration Call LIVE: DOA and LaraFM.” The targets appear to be individuals involved in ongoing online disputes with D’Amato. [S.] is described in the transcript as a minor.
“We’re going to be taking care of some family business today,
which means calling family protective services and immigration”
D’Amato opened the stream by announcing that the day’s agenda was “calling family protective services and immigration.” He told viewers that a CPS report on [S.] was already open and invited anyone who wanted to “call and add to it or make some suggestions” to do so, framing it as a matter of personal choice in a free country. That framing is worth noting: the target is, by D’Amato’s own description, a teenager who had previously required police involvement after being groomed online. Mobilizing a streaming audience to pile onto a child welfare report against a minor in those circumstances is the kind of conduct that precedes, and in some jurisdictions constitutes, a basis for criminal harassment or stalking charges. The immigration campaign against Danny carried its own risks. D’Amato acknowledged on stream that he was not certain of the underlying facts, stating repeatedly that he told DHS officials “I’m not sure” about the marriage and visa details he was reporting. He nonetheless shared a name, a DHS web form, and a phone number in the chat, and told viewers, “I know that some of you are going to do that.” In the current federal enforcement climate, an immigration report, accurate or not, can produce consequences ranging from detention to removal, and worse. D’Amato, broadcasting from Los Angeles, directed his audience toward those consequences against a named individual while on camera. Toward the end of the stream, D’Amato turned on a chatter using the handle “anarchy princess,” telling her that her screen name gave him grounds to have investigators “find you… like your address where you are,” which he described as the place where he could “serve you papers and make police reports about you.” In a city where police responses to reported disturbances have ended in injury and death, broadcasting that you are attempting to locate someone’s home address to send authorities there is not an abstract threat.
Exhibit A
D’Amato announces on stream that a deleted video of [S.] will be preserved and shared with law enforcement: “The stream that [S.] deleted last night, we have it… And what’s great is that the police can have that tape too.” He then lists traffic and safety violations he claims [S.] committed while out past curfew as additional grounds for police involvement.

D’Amato states the retained video will be forwarded to police, framing that act as advantageous. The clip establishes that D’Amato was actively archiving and preparing to submit material on a minor to law enforcement before the stream concluded.
Exhibit B
D’Amato tells his audience that a CPS report on [S.] is already open and extends an open invitation: “If anybody wants to call and add to it or make some suggestions, you’re welcome to. It’s a free country.” He also suggests that members of [S.]’s own audience who call would “reveal themselves as the predators that they are.”

D’Amato solicits additional CPS calls from his viewing audience while an active report on a minor is pending. The clip documents the public solicitation on a broadcast platform, directed at a child welfare case D’Amato acknowledged he had initiated.
Exhibit C
D’Amato shares what he describes as Danny’s legal name in chat, attributing its public availability to prior police reports and news articles: “Danny’s a public figure, right? And he has his name out there… it was on the police reports… So now you guys can report him to immigration.” He then provides a DHS web form link and says, “If you want to call and make a report, I’ll give you that number too.”

D’Amato posts a name, a government reporting form, and a phone number to his chat in sequence, inviting viewers to submit their own immigration complaints. The clip documents the audience solicitation and the distribution of identifying and contact information on a live public broadcast.
Exhibit D
After completing his DHS call, D’Amato describes what he reported and what he expects will follow: “I reported… his marriage to Leah and the fact that they’re sleeping on her mother’s couch… you guys might both be going to jail because you did something illegal and now you’re fucked with me.” He acknowledges uncertainty about the underlying facts, stating, “I’m not sure… I’m not making a false report. People said it’s his wife. I reported that they’re married. That’s it. If they’re not, I was wrong. And I said that to them.” He then adds, “The next time you show your ID to the police, they might have you in the system to be held by immigration.”

D’Amato describes filing an immigration complaint while simultaneously acknowledging that key facts, including whether Danny and Leah are legally married, were unverified at the time of the report. The clip also captures D’Amato’s explicit framing of the report as retaliation, and his prediction that the filing will produce system-level consequences for Danny during future police contacts.
Exhibit E
Responding to a chatter named “anarchy princess,” D’Amato states: “Now I’m adding you to the fucking report to DNA because now you are someone who is of concern to me and my safety. So now what I have is the impetus to get my investigators to take your screen name here and find you. Okay, like your address where you are, and that’s where I could serve you papers and make police reports about you.”

D’Amato states publicly, on a live broadcast, that his investigators will attempt to identify and locate a chatter’s physical address, framing that location as the destination for legal paperwork and police reports. The stated purpose is civil and legal rather than physical, but the public declaration of intent to find someone’s home address, triggered by a chat comment, is documented here in D’Amato’s own words.
Exhibit F
D’Amato addresses critics who have filed police reports against him: “You motherfuckers can report me all goddamn day and make false reports to the police and wait till my lawyer gets ahold of him. I don’t do anything illegal to any of these people.” He then states of [S.]: “[S.], please report me for stalking so I could sue your parents and take their house.”

D’Amato denies engaging in illegal conduct toward any target while, in the same segment, stating his intention to file a lawsuit against a minor’s parents. The clip places D’Amato’s legal self-defense framing alongside his simultaneous litigation threat against [S.]’s family, on the same broadcast where the CPS and immigration campaigns were announced. Taken together, the six clips document a single livestream in which D’Amato initiated or invited government agency contacts against three individuals, including a minor, shared personal identifying information in a public chat, and stated his intent to locate a viewer’s home address, all of which is preserved in the original video record.
