Trump endorses 'hilarious' idea of changing ICE agency's name to annoy liberals

Published: 21:47, 27 April 2026 | Updated: 21:49, 27 April 2026 President Trump gave his stamp of approval to a conservative influencer's joke about re-naming US Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) just to upset members of the media.  The idea came from Alyssa Marie, who suggested changing ICE to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  The acronym would spell out 'NICE,' and the commander-in-chief is all for it. 'I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday,' Marie posted on X back in March. On Sunday night, Trump enthusiastically approved the rebrand on Truth Social. 'GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT,' he wrote. The suggestion received an overwhelming amount of social media support, with many users calling it 'hilarious,' and pushing for the name change. 'Trump should sign that executive order just to watch their heads spin on live TV,' one user wrote on X. President Trump endorsed the idea of changing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would spell out 'NICE' His endorsement comes shortly after alleged gunman Cole Tomas Allen opened fire Saturday night at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner  'Honestly this is just brilliant while top tier trolling,' another person wrote. The administration has been cracking down on border enforcement in an attempt to reduce the number of undocumented individuals entering the US.  Many Democrats have criticized Trump, pushing back against the president and calling for the abolition of ICE. Progressive Democratic Rep Pramila Jayapal of Washington slammed ICE in an X post earlier this month. 'ICE is not keeping us safe. It's terrorizing our communities, detaining US citizens, and letting people die in custody. Abolish ICE,' Jayapal wrote. New York City's democratic-socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani has also criticized ICE, calling for the agency to be abolished and claiming it has 'terrorized' US citizens.  But the president hasn't waivered, just last month he defied Mamdani by sending around 500 ICE agents to LaGuardia and John F Kennedy airports.

His eerie manifesto showed that he is not a fan of Trump or his policies. In the manifesto, which he sent to his family just 10 minutes before he opened fire, Allen referred to himself as the 'Friendly Federal Assassin.'  According to the New York Post, Allen's manifesto read: 'Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person raped in a detention camp. I'm not the fisherman executed without trial. 'I'm not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor's crimes,' it read in part. The alleged gunman was also charged on Monday with transporting a firearm and ammunition across state lines and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.  The comments below have not been moderated.
