      From the article:

      Since the federal government shut down, the Trump administration has spent almost $10 million on ads urging immigrants to self-deport and Americans to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a new report has shown.

      Analysis shared with *Newsweek* by Equis, a research and polling organization focused on Latinos, and Priorities USA, which mainly monitors election campaigns, showed ads continuing to run across social media and TV channels as other vital government services were frozen.

      “Millions of people are at risk of losing their food stamps and are about to go hungry because of this government shut down,” Natalia Campos Vargas, a deputy research director at Equis, told *Newsweek*. “But somehow the Trump administration and DHS and ICE are choosing to spend millions of dollars on ad campaigns. That just feels inherently wrong to me as a taxpayer.”

      That’s a misnomer. The funds are there for
      SNAP, they’re choosing not to release them. 

    3. TintedApostle on

      Republicans funded ICE with more money than the the sum of all police budgets in the US.

      🐘: Don’t use SNAP! Get a Job!
      😓 *gets a stable federal job with stability and a solid step-based career roadmap while being caregiver for family member with disability who lost SNAP*
      🐘: GET OUT! You’re government waste! Argentina needs 40 billion and we need a BAWLROOM.
      😓 *gets a job in the private sector*
      Private sector: Get out! We’re laying you off and replacing you with AI!
      🐘: And don’t you dare ask for food assistance nor go to the emergency room! ARE YOU A CITIZEN? *tackles first and asks questions later*
      United Healthcare: Have an injury now? Sorry boo boo. We’re doubling premiums and claim denials hunny!!!!
      🤬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

      This ad looks like a present-day remake of “Starship Troopers”

      Starving the people so they can generate mass civil unrest. Then deploy their paramilitary groups to put down the “riots” and institute Martial Law indefinitely.

      The play is so clear.

      Where are the fucking billionaires to help feed the poor?

      People get hungry, the get pitchforks.

    8. threehundredthousand on

      Billionaires own everything, corporate interests own politicians, and they put a Nazi in power. The fact they still feel safe in society is why it won’t change. They’ve blackened both eyes and broke the arms of America and America does nothing.

      “Why aren’t people having kids? Also you won’t be eating next month.”

      > Since January 20, 2025, there have been over 2 million removals or self-deportations, with approximately 1.6 million being self-deportations and over 400,000 being deportations

      20% – ICE did their deportation function

      80% – People said „give me $1k and get me the feck outta here“

      There is no data available of course; however that is upwards of $1.6B given to non-citizens.

    12. lostsailorlivefree on

      There are THOUSANDS of ICE REJECTS- think about that. What are they doing now? Forming up is what they’re doing.
      These elections are going to be fun

      Need FOOD? JOIN ICE! GET $ Buy FOOD and subjugate your fellow freeloader citizens.

    15. Lickin_my_Chkn_pogs on

      We can’t spend money on things like food if we want to be great again. Think about it guys, what great people do you know that eat?

      Didn’t think so. Suck it libs.

      Between this, flying execs to wrestling events, and the subsequent lawsuits for the illegal ICE detentions of American citizens, we’re lucky to have any money to fuel the ships we’re sending to threaten the Caribbean. This administration is the most illegally operated and conceived mess in history.

      The ads I get that aren’t anti-Mamdani are pro-ICE. I hate how much money the government is spending on making me look at Kristi Noem’s dumb plastic face.

      „Naturally the common people don’t want war . . . but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or parliament or a communist dictatorship. 

      All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.“

      Christianity states you should feed the hungry.

      Insurance is considered usury. Every major religion considers usury to be a sin. Healthcare would be a lot more affordable in America if we didn’t have to pay hundreds of billions in health insurance profits.

      Christianity also teaches one to love thy immigrant as you own, which American Christians on the Right do not.

      Just a few of the many reasons why American Christians on the Right are going to be shocked when they denied entry into Heaven.

      A nation run by brain-dead ghouls. My heart goes out to those who are going to go hungry in November and won’t be having a Thanksgiving dinner.

      But they’re just poor people, so who cares, right?

    25. mankowonameru on

      South Park already made the perfect ad. Just run that and save the money.

    27. Livid-Safety2555 on

      Turns out having a large secret police force may be useful when you’re manufacturing a famine against 1/8 people in your country.

    29. DebentureThyme on

      I thought that photo was a newspaper article making a joke.  Defend The Homeland reads way too close to many Nazis slogans, and yet that’s an official ad for ICE.

    30. StarStruck3 on

      Important distinction, not „runs out“ of money, it’s worse than that. It’s „refuses to release the contingency fund for SNAP, intentionally denying millions of Americans food security.“

      Before I get a MAGA idiot in my replies: The fund is specifically for this purpose (among other disaster relief), and has been used in the past when the government shut down, including last time Trump shut it down for 35 days.
