A recruitment video by ICE, featuring JAY-Z's song "Public Service Announcement," was taken down for copyright infringement. The video urged viewers to "Hunt Cartels. Save America" and showed agents in action. Despite being disabled on Twitter, the video remained on Instagram and Facebook without audio. The choice of JAY-Z's song is ironic given his criticism of Trump and its lyrics about drug dealing. ICE has intensified recruitment efforts, seeking 10,000 positions with incentives amidst heightened immigration raids.
The recruitment video shows footage of agents doing training, breaking down doors, and conducting immigration raids, while urging viewers to "Hunt Cartels. Save America."
The song choice is particularly ironic, not only because JAY-Z has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, but also because the lyrics of "Public Service Announcement" detail his past life as a drug dealer.
ICE has ramped up its recruitment efforts in recent weeks as the Trump administration has accelerated immigration raids, launching a hiring initiative for 10,000 positions.
This initiative was funded by a recent $76 billion allocation that makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency, reportedly drawing over 80,000 applicants.
