Bans federal money for TV ads promoting ICE or recruiting for the agency.

This bill would stop the Department of Homeland Security from spending federal money on television advertisements for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This means the public would no longer see these ads, and ICE would lose this specific way to promote itself or recruit staff.

What Would Change

Today, the Department of Homeland Security can use federal money to pay for TV ads that promote U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), recruit for the agency, or improve its public image. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Homeland Security would be banned from spending any funds on these types of television advertisements.
