Jimmy Kimmel, the renowned late-night host, made a powerful statement by joining an anti-ICE protest in Los Angeles with his family. In a photo shared on Instagram, Kimmel, his wife Molly McNearney, and their children were seen holding signs with impactful anti-ICE messages. The signs read 'Deport ICE' and 'Raise Good Girls and Pretti Boys,' a poignant reference to the tragic shootings of Nicole Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration authorities. Kimmel's caption emphasized the presence of paid agitators, aligning with President Donald Trump's recent remarks about agitators being funded to cause unrest at anti-ICE protests.
The protest's timing coincides with Trump's announcement that the government will not intervene in anti-immigration enforcement riots in blue cities unless requested. Trump also instructed ICE and Border Patrol to take a firm stance in protecting federal property. Kimmel's activism extends beyond words; during a recent broadcast of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', he expressed deep distress over the treatment of immigrants, particularly the tear-gassing and detention of children. He criticized the Trump administration's handling of immigration raids, claiming they are carried out by poorly trained and led individuals.
Kimmel's concern is not limited to the present; he has a history of vocal opposition to Trump's immigration policies. He accused the federal government of making up rules as they go, using video evidence to challenge the official accounts of Good and Pretti's deaths. Kimmel's emotional appeal to his audience is clear: he urges them to question the 'law and order' they voted for and to stand against the injustices faced by immigrants.
