Lawmakers Call on #Meta to Stop Running ICE Ad Featuring #NeoNazi Anthem

Asked about an #ICE ad featuring the song “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” #DHS said: “Not everything you dislike is ‘Nazi propaganda.’”

Austin Campbell, February 5 2026

"Members of Congress are demanding answers from Meta after it ran advertisements by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they say included imagery and music intended to appeal to #WhiteNationalists and #NeoNazis.

"In a letter sent to Meta CEO #MarkZuckerberg, Reps. #BeccaBalint, D-Vt., and #PramilaJayapal, D-Wash., questioned how the social media company approved an ad campaign from the Department of Homeland Security featuring the song 'We’ll Have Our Home Again,' which is popular in neo-Nazi spaces. The lawmakers urged Meta to cease running the ad campaign on its social media platforms and asked whether the company would commit to ending its digital advertising partnership with #DHS.

The Intercept was first to report ICE’s use of the song in a paid post recruiting for the agency, which published shortly after an ICE agent fatally shot #ReneeGood in Minneapolis."

A wake-up call for #WhiteAmericans

The deaths of #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti are forcing white people to face hard truths about power and violence

By Chauncey DeVega, Senior Writer, February 1, 2026

"None of what we have seen over the past few weeks — not the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis at the hands of federal officers, the seizure of children by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, the callous disregard of civil rights and liberties from an increasingly authoritarian administration — is supposed to be happening in America. But it is.

"American citizens are being arrested and brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights — recording ICE, standing nearby or simply being the 'wrong' color in the wrong place. The Trump administration has labeled these Americans 'domestic terrorists,' claiming they posed existential threats to heavily armed federal agents, despite clear video evidence to the contrary. Immigrants are hiding, afraid to go outside. Entire neighborhoods and communities are under siege. Even though it’s only January, at least eight people have died from their encounters with ICE.

"The #CognitiveDissonance is dizzying. #Disorientation is one of the #authoritarian leader’s most powerful weapons.

"Hours after Pretti was killed on Jan. 24, hundreds of people protested near the site in Minneapolis where he died. There, an older white woman told a reporter that 'the government is not supposed to be doing these horrible things to the American people. It is unbelievable. This is something like Nazi Germany or Russia.'

"I yelled at the television. 'What d**n country do you live in?'

"But her sentiments are common among people who are gathering at protests, community meetings and town halls all across the country.

"Like many other white Americans, and too many Black and brown Americans, she seemed willfully ignorant of her own country’s history, which includes #genocide and #LandTheft against #FirstNations; white-on-Black chattel #slavery; #JimCrow and #JaneCrow; the #BlackCodes; the #RedScare; violent social and political repression of #LGBTQ Americans; the #PalmerRaids; mass #incarceration and the #WarOnDrugs, to name just a few examples."

['Incident at Vichy', Arthur] Miller is showing the only thing that actually interrupts mass injustice:

Not outrage

but the willingness to accept personal risk for another person’s life.

Already, since Sept. 1, 2025,
ICE has spent nearly $8 million on new equipment
— including simulation rounds,
junk cars,
sniper training gear,
and a model building
— for various training courses,
including for its tactical training at #Fort #Benning,
per The Lever’s review of contracting records.

To train its sniper teams and special response groups,
ICE has also inked deals with military contractors and obscure security firms.

In July, ICE awarded a first-time, $23,000 contract to
#Reticence #Group #LLC,
a Texas-based armed security firm,
for “specialized law enforcement pistol and rifle” training.

The company, led by two SWAT officers in Texas,
advertises that it offers “covert and confidential armed security contractors”
for the private sector,
as well as
“firearms training that pushes limits.”

Another sole source contract in July for $35,000 was awarded to
#Path #Consulting #LLC,
a Virginia Beach-based firm that, according to a contract notice,
provides
“[close-quarter combat] live fire training”
and would help an ICE special response team
“develop new standard operating procedures.”

Although the contract notice indicated that
Path Consulting LLC had worked with ICE in the past,
no other online procurement records mention its name.

A call to a phone number linked to the company went unanswered.

In September,
ICE issued a no-bid contract to
Target Down Group,
a company owned by Dan LaLota,
the brother of Nick LaLota,
who has served as the Republican U.S. Representative for New York's 1st congressional district since 2023.

(Dan LaLota denied his brother had any role in the award when asked by Wired in September.)

Most of Target Down Group’s leadership are veterans of the U.S. special forces;

the company’s president,
#Dan #LaLota, is a former U.S. Marine.

The company’s website advertises
“elite firearms instruction,”
drawing from
“years of experience as veterans from U.S. Military Special Operations.”

In the Department of Homeland Security’s September justification for the no-bid contract,
officials wrote that ICE had an
“immediate requirement to procure precision fires and specialized observation capabilities for the national 'Special Response Team' (SRT) #sniper #program.”

“The law enforcement officers of ICE have a very challenging job to conduct,”
LaLota wrote in response to The Lever’s request for comment.

“Target Down Group is honored to have provided training to them in order to assist them [sic] perform their duties.”

The other ICE training contractors mentioned in this story did not respond to inquiries, nor did ICE.

#MichaelShermer is scum

"I was surprised/not at all surprised to learn that Michael Shermer is defending the murder of #ReneeGood, as well as being generally #proTrump and pro- #ICE. I do not read anything by #Shermer anymore, so good on Rebecca for having the intestinal fortitude to dig through the shit he vomits up."

Not to diminish the severity of this but I want you to know that the crowd fund for renee goods family is at over 1.5 million despite the presumed wealth disparity between the donors

@Nonilex #Bellingcat has done a frame by frame analysis of the footage we've all seen, and you can see #JonathonRoss filming the entire encounter. We was filming as he shot #ReneeGood, making his own private snuff film, staring a random mom he decided he'd like to watch die.

@Bellingcat #Bellingcat has gone frame by frame of the video, and added sat imagery. You can see clearly that #ICE #murderer #JonathonRoss is holding a phone in one hand, recording the shooting and aftermath as he kills #ReneeGood.

This monster was recording a snuff film, and just decided to use a mom in a minivan as the star.

And now the #FBI will bury it, and they will keep on murdering people. That's 9 people #ICE has shot in their cars in the last few months, for those keeping track.
