U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released an AI-generated Christmas advert, showing Santa Claus working as an ICE agent.
The video, in which an imposing Father Christmas is seen wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying weapons, urges undocumented immigrants to leave the country voluntarily.
The figure, depicted wearing Santa’s traditional red suit and with a white beard, appears with an ICE logo across his chest. He is then shown detaining migrants on a street alongside other officers, processing one individual at an immigration facility and escorting him onto a plane for deportation.
The video encourages undocumented immigrants to “avoid Santa’s naughty list” by self-deporting using the CBP One app, which was previously used by the Biden administration to allow migrants to enter the U.S. legally.
