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.
