Donald Trump expressed support for an idea from a supporter to change the name of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The suggestion, shared by a supporter named Alyssa, proposed that the Trump administration should add the word “National” at the beginning of the agency’s name so that the acronym would become NICE — a play on the English word for “pleasant” or “good.”

“I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so that the media has to say NICE agents all day, every day,” Alyssa wrote on her profile on X.

Some time later, Trump appeared on his own social media platform, Truth Social, to respond to Alyssa’s suggestion, saying: “Great idea! Let’s do it.” This quickly sparked criticism among internet users, especially as the country is actively at war with Iran.

“Trump is awake and now demanding that ICE be renamed to NICE so the media has to say ‘NICE agents’ every day. This is what the president is focused on. Very strange things,” commented a user on X.

“Is this real life? Are these the problem-solving skills we were expecting?” lamented another. “An administration [made up of] 12-year-old children,” mocked a third user. “Deeply dystopian,” pointed out another.
