I voted for him in large part BECAUSE OF his commitment to immigration enforcement.

Podcast personality Joe Rogan broke with President Donald Trump again over a new issue.
“Bro, these ICE raids are (expletive) nuts, man,” Rogan said to two guests Luis J. Gomez and Big Jay Oakerson in a recent episode of his podcast published June 18.
“I don’t think if the Trump administration, if they’re running and they said we’re going to go to Home Depot and we’re going to arrest all the people at Home Depot. We’re going to go to construction sites and we’re just going to tackle people at construction sites. I don’t think anybody would have signed up for that,” Rogan said.
He continued that Trump had promised to get rid of the “criminals and the gang members first.”
“And now we’re seeing, like, Home Depots get raided,” he said. “That’s crazy.”
Rogan famously endorsed Trump on the eve of the November election over Twitter during an interview with Elon Musk.
But since then he has grown increasingly critical of Trump.
He said starting a fight with Canada over becoming the 51st state “the dumbest (expletive) feud” and called a mass arrest of more than 200 people who were sent to an El Salvador prison “horrific.”

Regardless of what the TRUTH is, the optics matter. And the ICE stuff plus Middle East visual narratives have been completely one sided and not helpful...Especially without immediate an economic comeback to back it all up.
The campaign version of Trump needs to make a comeback. Not rallies, too expensive, but explaining the agenda on podcasts...
The Elon Musk feud also didn't help. He was a good mouthpiece on these platforms for a time...
And how did Rogan expect these illegals to be rounded up, by BEGGING them to turn themselves in..NO, ICE has to go and find them
What part of “illegal” do people not understand? I’m sorry, but if you did not go through the proper channels, you should be rounded up and sent home. Then, go through the proper channels.
I don’t understand his complaint.
They want to round up the criminals, so go to where the criminals are.
What part of “illegal alien” does Rogan not understand?
Sorry Joe. I would. If anything, I was skeptical he’d really do it, but I’m liking what I see.
Joe doesn’t know the political feelings of the voting American public very well.
for later
ICE is behaving exactly as they should - forcefully, quickly, but legally and humanely.
Its exactly what I signed up for.
Ha.... Ha.... missed it by that much.
It sounds like Rogain is trying to get some of his liberal cred back.
I agree, Joe. Trump should get ICE to invite them to a steak dinner and ask them if they would like to be deported now after dinner, or at 8:15 the next morning, if that’s more convenient for them. By the way, what time do gangbangers wake up in the morning?
if I had to play devil’s advocate...there is a place for raids but also expending more energies on cutting social welfare benefits, putting states on blast that continue to fund those benefits, cementing DOGE measures via Congress and court fights, holding employers who hire illegal migrants accountable(?)
The only problem with raids on places like Home Depot is that they should be arresting whoever hired them, in addition to nabbing the illegals & sending them home. If they did this a few times, illegals would be refused employment & forced to go home.
Trump is not running for reelection. Optics do not matter…results do. Results for the future of our country, not pretty podcasters sitting in air conditioned rooms.

Rogan is wrong. This in your face deportation process is entirely necessary.
Does Rogan think we should wait for illegals to self deport? Yes, there will be questionable deportations like that Marine with a Purple Heart, or some college kid who had lived here all her life, but Biden made this illegal immigrants mess a national crisis, and so any collateral damage now is his fault.
Every illegal rounded up at Home Depot or the courthouse or wherever only serves to enrage the left. And that’s a good thing.
In Your Face!
Holding the employers themselves accountable and enacting consequences, exactly.
We all knew deporting illegals would lead to negative images. The media will seek out the benign housekeeper or gardener rather than the tatted gang bangers. We also know the only reason the Dems want them here is for election district numbers.
Another way would be to deny all social services to noncitizens. Emergency medical care could be excepted, but none of the taking kids to the ER for a runny nose like we see so much of. They would leave on their own.
