Overview

• ICE unveiled the video on August 14 showcasing DaBaby’s “TOES” alongside an ICE vehicle painted in red, blue and gold reminiscent of President Trump’s private jet.
• The Guardian described the clip as a recruitment advertisement intended to draw new agents to the agency.
• The caption “Iced out” prompted social media users to label the production an unethical use of taxpayer money.
• ICE has not clarified whether it obtained a license for DaBaby’s track, reviving concerns after its previous Jay-Z–backed post was removed over copyright issues.
• Observers warn that pairing a controversial artist with partisan branding risks undermining ICE’s public image.
