The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted an image on its social media platform X that sparked strong reactions. In it, Uncle Sam targets the reader with a direct message: “Report all illegal alien invaders. Call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE.”

That number, 866-347-2423, belongs to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and is now being promoted as a hotline for reporting people in irregular immigration status.

Call for citizen denunciation

The poster is accompanied by a phrase that encapsulates the spirit of the campaign: "Help your country... and yourself." The goal is clear: to involve citizens in the identification and detention of migrants.

The measure is part of a tougher strategy by the Donald Trump administration, which in its new term has strengthened the role of ICE and reactivated initiatives with strong symbolic and operational implications.

Self-deportation with incentives

DHS also announced it will waive fines for undocumented migrants if they voluntarily self-deport using the CBP Home app. This app allows them to schedule their departure from the country without direct intervention from authorities.

“With a free flight, a $1,000 stipend, and waived fines, illegal immigrants have no excuse to remain in the United States,” the department said in a statement issued June 9.

National Guard and tax data

The DHS also requested the deployment of 20,000 National Guard troops to support immigration raids, in what some analysts consider a concern.cupin the face of the militarization of immigration policy.

Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was authorized to share tax information with ICE, a measure that could discourage migrants from filing taxes for fear of being tracked.
