ICE Releases A.I. Video of Santa Arresting Illegal Migrants [WATCH]

It’s time to go Ho, Ho, Home.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement rolled out a darkly festive new video this week, featuring Santa Claus rounding up illegal migrants, and warning them to leave voluntarily before landing on the naughty list.

The holiday-themed clip, posted to X late Monday, shows a jacked Father Christmas wearing a red bulletproof ICE vest as he cuffs an undocumented migrant on the street. Santa then processes the illegal alien at a federal facility before loading him onto an “ICE Air” plane for deportation.

The tongue-in-cheek but grim message landed the same day Kristi Noem announced a new “home for the holidays” incentive offering $3,000 per person to encourage illegal migrants to self-deport by Dec. 31.

“AVOID ICE AIR AND SANTA’S NAUGHTY LIST!” the agency posted on X alongside the video.

“Self-deport today with the CBP Home app, earn $3,000 and spend Christmas at home with loved ones. Holiday incentive is valid through the end of 2025.”

The Trump administration says the effort is already producing results. Roughly 1.9 million illegal migrants have voluntarily self-deported since President Donald Trump returned to office.

The administration began offering a $1,000 bonus and free travel for migrants using the CBP Home App back in May, arguing the approach is far cheaper than the estimated $17,000 per case cost to arrest, detain, and deport individuals.
