President Donald Trump endorsed changing the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday, April 26.

The name change would convert the agency’s acronym from ICE to NICE. The change was first promoted by conservative influencer Alyssa Marie in March. “I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday,” she said in a post on X.

More than a month after Marie proposed the change, Trump weighed in, publicly endorsing it. “GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT. President DJT,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Changing the name of a federal agency typically requires congressional approval, but it has not stopped the Trump administration from attempting to rename parts of the federal government. In September 2025, Trump signed an executive order that sought to rename the U.S. Department of Defense to the Department of War.

DHS should be dismantled and all the components RETURNED to their original departments.

1. Everything they do is psychological warfare aka gaslighting.

2. This won't change the public's perception of ICE, just the definition of the word "nice."

Much like the use of "bad" often means good, excellent, or impressive, "nice" will become synonymous with jack-booted thuggery.

3. Dumb name change................

I can imagine, since liberal tend to master humor, this will backfire on shithole and the republicans and a few turn coat Dems.

Honestly, what's nice about treating people they hate inhumanly?

4. "what's nice about treating people they hate inhumanly?"

It's Orwell's "Newspeak" (in order to create "doublethink" ).

5. It will quickly be referred to as

Not Nice, as in "Not Nice beat up another protester today."

8. It's all about branding. Not about actually doing anything.

9. How about an "L" instead for "LICE".

Much more fitting IMO.

12. And also because they're Losers.

11. The NICE MICE

Men In Customs Enforcement

13. I doubt it will be an official change

It would take millions of dollars probably to change everything from letterhead to uniforms.

Then again, Trump doesn't care much about budgeting.
