U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released an AI-generated Christmas advert, showing Santa Claus working as an ICE agent.

The video, in which an imposing Father Christmas is seen wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying weapons, urges undocumented immigrants to leave the country voluntarily.

The figure, depicted wearing Santa’s traditional red suit and with a white beard, appears with an ICE logo across his chest. He is then shown detaining migrants on a street alongside other officers, processing one individual at an immigration facility and escorting him onto a plane for deportation.

The video encourages undocumented immigrants to “avoid Santa’s naughty list” by self-deporting using the CBP One app, which was previously used by the Biden administration to allow migrants to enter the U.S. legally.

3. These hateful jerks need a visit from Krampas.

[AZJonnie]

4. Probably the conditions are such that you must spend more than $3K in order to qualify

Some shit like, you have report to a military base, get processed, have a bunch of tests done on you, then you get put on a military plane, and flown back your country and dropped off, in order to get the $3K.

Or how over the top evil it appears.

As long as they “own the libs” ….

It is nothing more than an outrage generation machine


Fuck these people…

[mwooldri]

13. Weird. Santa ain't even American. NT

[uppityperson]

14. Is this satire? I cant tell anymore

[Exp]

15. Right wing values. nt

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Cruelty with sick humor for the base. They love it.

[orangecrush]

17. Jesus Christ

[Ocelot II]

27. I don't think he's involved.

Great way to celebrate his birthday, though.

[popsdenver]

18. Maybe next year

we will have REAL news video of Trump and his entire CABAL, His appointees, His advisers, His Bimbo's, His spawn, Jared, all Republican Governors, Republican House Members, Republican Senators and Republican Supreme Court Justices, all being squeezed into a giant C-5A, with parachutes, on their way to Russia to be parachuted over the Kremlin......
And if there is another C-5A or two, The Republican donor oligarchs, his new clan of Robber Barrons, and the Top 500 Corporate CEO's, the entire ICE, and every member of the Border Patrol....

Then a couple more C-5A's with the proud boys, J6 insurrectionists, etc, etc etc all dressed up in their wannabe military garb and assault weapons, but drop them in some war zone and see how they like going up against REAL armed soldiers.........

[jmowreader]

21. If they could find a C-5A that would be a perfect thing to do

The Air Force upgraded them to C-5B specification because the wings on the C-5A were cracking - the metal in their framework wasn't strong enough.

So what I figure is, we get the only remaining original-wing C-5A, turn it into a drone and load the entire Trump Cabal on it, then take off and wait until the wings detach from the airframe.

[popsdenver]

22. thanks for the update

I thought there was some version around........I recall seeing one decades ago, at Stapleton Airport in Denver, (before DIA) and it taxied by a 747 and the size comparison was unreal........

There was a space rocket built here in Denver, and the C-5A was the only plane that could transport the sections due to the front loading?????????

[jmowreader]

33. The current model is the C-5M

[Zackzzzz]

28. Around 1972, I saw a C-5 in the air

and then landing. I could not imagine how it stayed in the air.
It was landing sooooo slow and it was sooooo big.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

36. I was stationed at Dover AFB many years back.

Watching those planes coming in for a landing was great! They were just majestic.

[Fil1957]

19. I never cease to be amazed by the sickness of these people.

[slightlv]

20. I would start screaming about ICE's "War on Christmas!"

The R's sure yelled at us about it all the time, regardless of the fact their was no proof or issues... only feeling victimized because their voice wasn't the only voice allowed to be heard.

This is Santa-killing for children. This is an actual War on Christmas... on what it means, on the symbols connected to it. Make them pay!

[SunSeeker]

23. Pure evil.

[byronius]

24. No Republican is ever going to heaven, period.

“But Adolf said such nice things!”

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Santa should deliver Trump a railcar full of coal

Since he's so interested in keeping the industry alive.

[jmowreader]

34. One lump of coal would be a better punitive gift for him

If you give Trump a railcar full of coal he'll have it sold and the money in his loanshark's hands by the end of the day.

[Ocelot II]

26. I wish I believed in Hell.

This is some evil, warped, depraved shit. What's the actual fuck is wrong with people who can even imagine something like this?

[LoisB]

29. I no longer wonder how low they can go. Next up: Jesus in an ICE "uniform".

[sakabatou]

30. There is such a thing as Evil Santa and this is it

[Devilsun]

31. Wow! I don't know what to say?

[Queso Delicioso]

32. Absolutely abhorrent.

How the hell this doesn't get people thrown out of office I'll never know.

[fujiyamasan]

35. The thing is the administration is lying like always

There have been reports of arrests of people heading toward the border when self deporting or exiting the country.

There is no bonus or any other incentive for people doing the “right thing”.

The only incentives that exists are the bonuses for ICE agents to meet and exceed exceed their quotas.

[travelingthrulife]

37. These people are deranged.

[travelingthrulife]

38. So ironic that they are torturing and murdering immigrants on the very holiday

their Savior was an undocumented person.

[ConstanceCee]

39. I Hope

I hope everyone who is considering "self-deportation" waits, because the amount offered will go up.
