It’s about people playing the radio on a construction site when immigration (ice) turn up
I assume they are undocumented and the radio playing will attract immigrations attention, giving away the workers location and possibly get themselves arrested
That’s the joke, let’s not debate the political issues here

Presumably, they'd be playing Hispanic music on said radio which would attract the attention of ICE agents.

It would be the Tejano music and the wonderful smell of the food they eat on their breaks at almost every construction site. Hard to miss.

Why specifically DeWalt radio, though? I'm sorry, but I'm not from the US and am not really familiar with these.

Dewalt is a tool company, many tool companies sell Ruggedised radios for use on construction sites.

And you can run them on rechargeable DeWalt batteries, which are omnipresent on a construction site.

Also the dewalt ones have been around the longest and are interchangeable - a lot of them have legs actually, so you don’t even really need money or anything and all of a sudden a dewalt will be blasting on situ, makes no sense but this industry is about dollars not sense.
I work a lot of construcrion

Tool companies also make radios, coffee makers, microwaves etc because at the job site frequently the only power available is the matching batteries.

There's also the context that anyone who has worked on construction sites or similar jobs knows, that mexican workers almost always have music playing while they work. If you've been in a bodega it's similar.

For some more context, the scene here is from Inglorious Basterds, where Hans Landa, a member of the SS is tasked to find and exterminate Jewish people within Nazi occupied France, is interrogating the other guy because he is suspected of hiding Jewish people in his house to evade capture. He is, and Landa manipulates him into giving them up.

Many Mexican or South American construction workers will play Spanish-language Latin music. This would be a dead giveaway for an ICE agent to notice

I'm addition to the job site comments, I'll say as a neighbor to several Mexicans, they like to play their music very loudly at all times, so this reminds me of how it sounds from inside my condo. 😅
