Jimmy KimmelĀ delivered an emotional takedown of federal immigration agents Monday night after Alex Pretti was shot dead in Minneapolis over the weekend.
The late-night host didnāt hold back his anger at the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. Kimmel urged Americans to watch the disturbing video of Prettiās final moments. He called the federal agents who killed the 37-year-old nurse a āgang of poorly-trained, shamefully-led, mask-wearing goons.ā
The comedian has repeatedly clashed with Trump since 2015, when he first started mocking the then-candidateās foreign policy positions. Their feud intensified during Trumpās presidency and has carried into his second term. Trump has called Kimmel āhorribleā and a āno talentā host multiple times on social media. The former president has demanded that ABC fire Kimmel and threatened to revoke the networkās broadcast license. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has also targeted Kimmelās show for potential violations.
The late-night show was briefly suspended due to pressure from Trumpās administration. Kimmel called these attacks part of a broader assault on free speech and comedy, and when he returned, he vowed to continue criticizing Trump despite the ongoing government pressure against his show.
