President Donald Trump has expressed support for a social media joke to rename Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as "NICE." This proposal emerges as ICE faces increasing scrutiny regarding its operations, funding, and a notable rise in detainee deaths.

What started out as a joke on social media, has now got the US President’s backing. Donald Trump said he supports the idea of changing the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement - or ICE - to a new acronym, “NICE.” This comes as the immigration agency continues to face mounting scrutiny over its operations, funding and a record-high death of detainees in custody.
