Spotify confirmed it is no longer running recruitment ads for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A company spokesperson clarified the spots were part of a Department of Homeland Security campaign that ended late last year. The spokesperson said there are currently no ICE ads running on Spotify and noted the ads ran across all major media and platforms. The recruitment campaign sparked significant backlash last fall, including calls for a boycott from organizers behind the No Kings protests. The clarification followed the fatal shooting of a US citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7. It remains unclear whether the ad campaign will resume in 2026.
