flag Lawmakers demand Meta and Google end DHS ad deals over racist content and ICE's hiring practices.

flag Democratic lawmakers Becca Balint and Pramila Jayapal have urged Meta and Google to end their ad partnerships with the DHS, citing ICE's use of digital ads—some featuring white nationalist imagery and neo-Nazi-linked slogans—for recruitment and "self-deportation" campaigns. flag They highlighted $5.8 million in spending on the platforms over the past year, including $1 million on "self-deportation" ads in 90 days, and questioned how such content violated company hate speech policies. flag The lawmakers also raised concerns over ICE’s rapid expansion, including signing bonuses up to $50,000, relaxed hiring standards, and inadequate training, which they say contributed to deaths in custody and unlawful raids. flag They demanded transparency on the scope and review of the ad campaigns.
