      Kind of ironic, considering the thread title.

      I was only joking

          A multi-million dollar English-language ad campaign featuring herself. Who’s the target audience again?

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                Partially. OTOH, border crossings are down to three digits and I think one day in the last week were down to two digits. Compared to the Biden numbers, that is stellar. Absolutely stellar. So the Administration is bragging a bit. They've got something to brag about.

                It's a messaging campaign. The message being hammered home, time and time again, is that unless you do it the right way, you're going back to where you came from. And the message is also directed at those sanctuary cities that would try to impede ICE from doing their job.

                    That was her announcement. I suspect there will be plenty of ads in Spanish and targeted on the effective broadcasters.

                      Why does this information need a "multi million dollar ad campaign"?

                      If you have not heard about this already, then you are living on another planet.

                      Seems like a clear sign of government waste. LOL

                        https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/02/18/donald-trump-memecoin-giveaway-previous-merchandise-buyers-trump/

                        President Donald Trump is rewarding his supporters by giving out around $50 worth of his memecoin.

                        People who purchased merchandise on Trump’s website before Feb. 15 are eligible for three $TRUMP tokens, according to Trump’s official memecoin website, in pursuit of the goal to “create the Biggest, Strongest Crypto Community the World has ever experienced.”

                        However, there is some fine print. His website specifies that only purchases of a few expensive products are eligible for the tokens including Trump-branded watches, fragrances, digital trading cards, and golden sneakers. Airdrop participants can access their reward through March 1 using the email used to purchase the products. The reward will be redeemed through what is known as a token airdrop, in which tokens are directly deposited into each participant’s crypto wallet.

                          The ad campaign is running both domestically and internationally. The international campaign is telling people not to try to come to the country illegally. Part of the domestic campaign is a focus on self-deportation of illegals already in the country.

                            @Jolly Does Sec Noem really think that this is not known around the world yet? As least in Asia and SE Asia, it is VERY well known. LOL

                                She’s just building her own brand with the taxpayer dollar. Obviously.

                                  In my opinion, the multi million $'s money spent on (again, my opinion) useless ads, could be spent to:

                                  hiring
                                  equipment
                                  training
                                  etc.
                                  Or, just dont spend it and reduce government waste.

                                  Since the election, I was in Laos, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, and US. President Trump was big news in every country, along with his thoughts and announcements on immigration. I doubt I could find a single person who would see the ad and be surprised. "Really? President Trump is going to crack down on immigration? I had no idea!"
