Ho, ho, it’s home for the holidays.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released a new video with a twist on Santa Claus, depicting him as an enforcer rounding up undocumented migrants. The message urges them to return voluntarily before they end up on the “naughty list.”
In the holiday-themed video, shared on X late Monday, a muscular Santa is seen wearing a red bulletproof vest with the ICE logo. He is shown apprehending an undocumented immigrant on the street.
Following the arrest, Santa is depicted processing the individual at a federal facility and then escorting him onto an “ICE Air” plane for deportation.
This somber holiday message aligns with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s earlier announcement. On Monday, she introduced a special incentive of $3,000 per person to encourage undocumented migrants to self-deport by December 31.
“AVOID ICE AIR AND SANTA’S NAUGHTY LIST!” the agency posted on X alongside the Santa advert.
“Self-deport today with the CBP Home app, earn $3,000 and spend Christmas at home with loved ones. Holiday incentive is valid through the end of 2025.”
Roughly 1.9 million illegal migrants have voluntarily self-deported since President Trump took office.
The Trump admin started offering a $1,000 bonus and free travel for those who utilized the CBP Home App in May — insisting it was cheaper than the average $17,000-a-pop to arrest, detain and deport illegal migrants.
