ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted a series of messages on December 22, 2025, addressing law enforcement cooperation, a new self-deportation incentive program, and commemorating an officer killed in the line of duty.

In one post, ICE stated: "Law enforcement across the nation WANT to work with ICE." (December 22, 2025).

Later that day, ICE promoted a new initiative aimed at encouraging eligible undocumented immigrants to leave the United States voluntarily. The agency wrote: "GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Eligible illegal aliens who use the CBP Home App to self deport can receive a $3,000 exit bonus. This offer is valid through the end of 2025." (December 22, 2025). This announcement comes amid ongoing debates about U.S. immigration policy and border security measures.

In another message honoring law enforcement personnel lost in the line of duty, ICE posted: "Today we honor Customs Patrol Officer George W. Singleton who was tragically shot in 1975 during a traffic stop linked to a one-ton marijuana smuggling case. ICE remembers you and pledges its continued resolve to ensure public safety and national security. See his story:" (December 22, 2025).

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is responsible for enforcing federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration within the United States.
