The White House is facing backlash from across the globe after posting a video featuring the holiday classic "Jingle Bells" set to footage of people being abducted and placed in chains by masked members by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The video intersperses abductees in jingling chains with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump prattling on about his racist, xenophobic immigration policy.
At one point, Trump declares immigrants can be sent anywhere in the world so long as it's not the United States.
Trump said:
"A free flight out of our country to any foreign country, as long as it's not here."
Which isn't deportation, as deportation returns people to their country of origin—it's abduction which allows an option to remove United States citizens since a country of origin is no longer a consideration.
The White House social media team made certain to post the video—titled 'A Message To Illegal Criminal Aliens'—across all their social media.

While bigoted MAGA minions who think cruelty is great—and many bots—posted support in the comments...

...even some of the people who bought Trump's original version of his immigration policy—targeting only criminals who entered the country illegally—thought the video was distasteful.

Many pointed out the Trump administration's immigration policy boils done to Project 2025's core concept—white supremacy and Christian nationalism.

Despite all the childish videos and memes they post, the Trump administration's actions are turning out to be an extremely expensive exercise in futility as evidenced by the shutting down of their much touted "Alligator Alcatraz" concentration camp in Florida.
As reported by Politico, more than 220 federal judges across the United States have rejected the Trump administration's immigration policy, ruling that it violates immigration law and due process protections.
The decisions include rulings by more than 20 judges appointed by Trump.
