For awhile now, some people online have been floating the idea of changing the name of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement.)
In doing so, the left-wing media would be forced to start referring to immigration enforcement officers as NICE Agents!
Wouldn’t that be simply hilarious?
And now, President Trump has given his full support behind the idea.
He just re-posted a social media post calling for the name change on Truth Social, with the caption “GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT.”
Check it out:
🚨 LMAO! President Trump is FULLY BACKING changing ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement), so that the media will start having to call them “NICE AGENTS” 🤣
“GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT. President DJT”

Here’s a closer look at the full post:
This proposal is not new.
In case you’re curious, it appears that the idea it originated with comedian Adam Carolla late last year before gaining traction on social media.
Grok provided some additional background:
The concept appears to have originated as a joke or rhetorical suggestion from comedian Adam Carolla. He floated it publicly around late 2025 (with mentions of him discussing it on shows like Jesse Watters’ program in that timeframe), proposing a minor rebrand by adding “National” so the acronym becomes NICE. Carolla framed it as a clever way to “save” or reframe the agency in public discourse: “What if we rebranded it? Made it start with an ‘N’—could you imagine Gavin Newsom railing against ‘NICE’?”
It quickly spread as a viral meme on social media (especially Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and TikTok) in late 2025 and early 2026. Supporters amplified it as “weaponized branding” or political trolling to counter anti-ICE rhetoric, with phrases like “Make the media say NICE Agents all day.” Some posts explicitly credit or reference Carolla as the spark.

Now, with President Trump pushing for it, the name change could very well become a reality!
Just imagine CNN having to start saying “NICE agents” every time they rail against President Trump’s immigration policies.
It would drive them nuts!
Many folks are wanting to see this happen.
Take a look at some of these responses:
“Trump can’t top renaming the Dept of War or Gulf of America”…
Trump: “or can I…” 😆

What do you think?
Should ICE be renamed to NICE?
How do you feel about it?
