Jimmy Kimmel broke down in tears twice while reacting to the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis on Monday night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
“One video after another, screaming people being torn from their families, Americans, people who were born in the United States being pulled out of their cars for the crime of having an accent or whatever children, small children, babies being tear-gassed, taken into custody, separated from their parents,” Kimmel said.
“Just one atrocity after another being committed by this gang of poorly trained, shamefully led, mask-wearing goons. That is what they are. They’re goons committing vile, heartless, and even criminal acts. It’s sickening to watch, and it’s frustrating to watch,” he continued.
Kimmel then argued that seeing “fellow Americans executed by ICE” should provoke a wake-up call for people who voted for Trump.
“Is that the law and order that you voted for? Where are the reasonable voices on the right? We need some decent people on the right to show some courage and some common sense,” he said, before adding “Every day is a nightmare now.”
The events in Minneapolis also struck a chord personally for Kimmel, as he revealed he and his wife had family in Minneapolis. “They’re afraid to take their kids to school. They’re afraid to go to work. And I can only imagine how people who aren’t white feel about this!”
