US EditionTrump backs idea of changing ICE’s name to ‘NICE’
Trump said the rebrand would force critics to say “NICE agents,” as the Department of Homeland Security faces renewed scrutiny over immigration crackdowns.
- President Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social on Sunday endorsing the idea of renaming the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to NICE, seemingly to troll media outlets.
- The rebranding concept originated as a meme among Trump's political base, popularized by comedian Adam Carolla, who joked on Fox News last year that the agency should "start it with the word N."
- Supporters argue the name change would force media to call officers "NICE AGENTS" all day, a tactic Trump co-signed during ongoing scrutiny of the agency's fatal shootings in Minneapolis earlier this year.
- The White House has not announced formal steps to implement the change, leaving it unclear whether Trump's directive signals genuine policy or primarily serves as social media provocation.
- Critics note the proposal emerges amid significant crises, including the ongoing Iran war and recent gunfire at The White House, while any official change faces potential administrative and legal hurdles.
