Substrate placeholder — needs reviewThe U.S. president endorsed the idea of renaming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (NICE). In a post on Truth Social, the president shared a screenshot of a post on X where a user suggested the name change so that media would refer to NICE agents. The president wrote, "GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT," in response to the suggestion.
Renaming Proposal ICE is responsible for immigration enforcement and customs operations in the United States. The proposed name change to NICE would expand the acronym to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Fox News reported that the administration has focused on border security and enforcement against illegal immigration.
Some Democrats have advocated for abolishing ICE. For example, Rep. Pramila Jayapal stated in a post on X earlier this month that ICE is not keeping communities safe and called for its abolition.
“ICE is not keeping us safe. It's terrorizing our communities, detaining U.S. citizens, and letting people die in custody. Abolish ICE.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on the endorsement. The official White House rapid response account on X shared a screenshot of the president's Truth Social post.
enforcement actions by ICE include arrests of individuals accused of crimes. For instance, ICE lodged a detainer after the arrest of an individual accused of biting a child's face at a Texas park. ICE also conducted a nationwide sweep arresting individuals convicted of child sex crimes and drug trafficking.
Additionally, ICE marked the one-year anniversary of a program to support victims of migrant crime with further arrests.
