5-1-26 ICE

from Boletín de Noticias de KBBF / KBBF News Bulletin

La semana pasada, las cuentas de redes sociales del gobierno estadounidense comenzaron a cambiar el nombre del acrónimo I.C.E., de ICE, a N.I.C.E., que significa "nice," ó, agradable. Una publicación viral en redes sociales propuso cambiar el nombre del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas, la cual tiene el acrónimo en inglés de I.C.E. ó ICE, a Servicio Nacional de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas, lo que cambiaria el acrónimo a N.I.C.E., ó NICE, que significa "agradable." La publicación recibió el respaldo público del presidente Trump, que publicó el mensaje "Gran idea, hazlo!" El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional comenzó entonces a usar el eslogan "ICE is NICE," ó, ICE es agradable" en redes sociales y publicó videos de agentes de ICE supuestamente ayudando a la gente. Sin embargo, uno de los videos provocó una fuerte reacción negativa por mostrar a un agente enmascarado retirando una flor de un monumento en memoria de Renee Good, quien fue asesinada por ICE. Los críticos, incluido el grupo Amnistía Internacional, condenaron la iniciativa como una maniobra de relaciones públicas insensible que se burlaba de la memoria de una víctima. Al menos 18 personas han muerto bajo custodia de ICE desde enero.   Last week, US government social media accounts began rebranding the acronym I.C.E., for ICE, as N.I.C.E., spelling "nice." A viral social media post proposed the renaming of Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE, to the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or "NICE," and the post received public endorsement from President Trump, who posted, "GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT". The Department of Homeland Security then began using the slogan "ICE is Nice" on social media, and posted videos of ICE agents supposedly being helpful. However, one of the videos sparked severe backlash for depicting a masked agent removing a flower from a memorial for Renee Good, who was killed by ICE. Critics, including Amnesty International, condemned the effort as a tone-deaf public relations stunt that mocked a victim's memory. At least 18 individuals have died in ICE custody since January.
