Trump Puts ICE Renaming Poll on Truth Social
Trump’s poll asked whether ICE should become NICE, and 81% of respondents supported the name change as of 10:40 a.m. ET, he said.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump used Truth Social to poll supporters on renaming Immigration and Customs Enforcement to "National Immigration and Customs Enforcement" , claiming the change would "totally discombobulate" journalists.
- Trump floated the NICE concept last month to force media outlets to use the acronym when describing agency operations, claiming journalists would "go totally crazy" reporting that "NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer."
- About an hour earlier, Trump posted another poll asking whether his pejorative nickname for Democrats should be spelled "Dumocrat" or "Dumbocrat," while Tom Holan indicated ICE agents themselves are less enthusiastic about the rebranding.
- As of Saturday afternoon, 82% of respondents backed the "NICE Agents" label, while 63% preferred "Dumocrat"; Trump noted the rebranding requires simply adding "National" to the existing name, describing it as "simple and precise."
- Congressional approval is required for the change, which appears unlikely given Republicans' razor-thin majority; the polling occurred as the Washington-Tehran peace deal fell apart and Iranian officials closed the Strait of Hormuz.

They are great patriots who work hard a…
