Trump’s “NICE” Revisiting How ICE Became the Center of Trump and Democrats’ Border War

Trump’s “NICE” Revisiting How ICE Became the Center of Trump and Democrats’ Border War Donald Trump is trying to put a new label on one of the most controversial agencies in America. ICE. Or, as Trump joked, “NICE.” The nickname is part of a much larger political fight over immigration enforcement, deportations, and whether Democrats are opposing ICE because of policy concerns, or because it has become one of Trump’s signature tools. Trump blames Biden’s border policies and claims millions entered through what he calls an “open border.” ICE, however, is not a Trump creation. It was born from the post-9/11 security overhaul. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 created the Department of Homeland Security, and USCIS says that law created ICE and Customs and Border Protection to oversee immigration enforcement.
