A rep from Spotify confirmed that they are no longer airing recruitment ads for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the last campaign ended in late 2025.

The update comes after left-wing organizations openly complained about the ads, which were run between songs for ad-supported free subscribers.

“There are currently no ICE ads running on Spotify,” a statement from the music streaming giant said, per The Guardian. “The advertisements mentioned were part of a US government recruitment campaign that ran across all major media and platforms.”

Spotify previously addressed criticism of the ads, saying they did not “violate our advertising policies.”

“This advertisement is part of a broad campaign the US government is running across television, streaming, and online channels,” the company shared in a statement last October. “However, users can mark any ad with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to help manage their ads preferences.”

Similar ICE recruitment ads have been running on other popular platforms including Hulu, HBO Max, YouTube, and Pandora since last spring.

The non-profit organization Indivisible Project, best known for organizing the nationwide “No Kings” protests, called for a boycott of Spotify in an open letter shared in October.

“Spotify is exploiting the work of artists to line their pockets while recruiting for ICE – a secret police force that is terrorizing American communities. Spotify is actively amplifying the Trump regime’s drive to authoritarianism,” the letter said in part.

The organization took credit for Spotify no longer running the ads, writing in an update on Friday that “months of public pressure” resulted in the music streaming service no longer running ICE advertisements.

Some minor musical artists also removed their music from the platform in protest. This includes the Australian psych-rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, the Canadian group Godspeed You! Black Emperor, indie band Deerhoof, and U.S. singer-songwriter Kadhja Bonet, per The Guardian.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem promised Friday to always stand with her law enforcement amid nationwide protests targeting Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers.

Noem’s commitment comes as anti-ICE protesters across the country have popped up after a 37-year-old woman was shot in Minneapolis while driving her car toward an ICE officer. Noem has said that the woman was attempting to run down the officer and said she had engaged in an act of domestic terrorism.

“I want to take a moment to express how thankful I am every single day for the men and women who put on the badge and put their lives on the line to protect the American people,” Noem said on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. “With more than 80,000 officers and agents, our Department is the largest law enforcement agency in the federal government.”

Noem added that Americans should take time to buy law enforcement officers coffee or a meal to say thank you.

“We recognize the sacrifice you and your families make to protect and serve the American people and our great country. President Trump and I will always stand with you,” she said. “Please take some time today to thank an officer or agent today. Make them a meal, buy them a cup of coffee, or simply thank them. To every officer who puts on the badge each day: thank you. Your service is paramount to our nation’s safety.”

DHS says that its officers have faced a 1,300% increase in assaults, a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks, and an 8,000% increase in death threats.

The agent who fatally shot the woman in Minneapolis had previously been dragged 100 yards by a vehicle driven by an illegal immigrant sex offender he was trying to take off the streets.

Despite the ongoing protests, ICE agents continued to pick up illegals on Thursdays convicted of heinous crimes. DHS told The Daily Wire they arrested the following “worst of the worst” illegals on Thursday:

-Angelica Maria Lua-Pinon, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 in San Fernando, California.

-Jorge Alberto Olivares-Lagunes, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Hays County, Texas.

-Ricardo Garcia-Villegas, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of murder in Queens, New York.

-Edwin Sanchez-Montiel, an illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of accessory after the fact relating to first-degree murder in Montgomery County, Maryland.

-Inmar Hernandez-Carcamo, an illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of firearms trafficking conspiracy in the U.S. District Court, District of Maryland.
