Jamie Kennedy Denounces Anti-ICE Rhetoric From Award-Show Red Carpets

His podcast comments answer recent onstage broadsides against immigration enforcement.

Overview

  • Appearing on Jack Osbourne’s Trying Not to Die, the comedian said actors decrying “authoritarianism” from guarded red carpets are “clueless.”
  • He argued that protesting ICE is misguided because the agency targets criminals and urged adherence to existing laws.
  • Kennedy recounted delivering a profanity-laced retort to an unnamed actor after hearing anti-ICE comments.
  • He told celebrities who oppose enforcement to “get on the frontline” rather than sounding off from luxury festivals such as Sundance.
  • His remarks follow high-profile denunciations of ICE at recent shows, including Natasha Rothwell at the Independent Spirit Awards and reported comments by Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny at the Grammys.
