They get called the feebs by some folks
Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?

As far as I’m aware, the rule is “if it can easily be pronounced, it should be pronounced. If it can’t, fall back to spelling it.” For example, if it was the Federal Investigation Bureau, we would probably call it the Fib, barring some major marketing campaign to prevent that.

If someone told me this is specifically why it isn’t called that, I’d believe it.
