Jimmy Kimmel drew backlash online after a monologue in which he accused President Donald Trump of enabling deadly force through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In a segment aired on Wednesday, Kimmel referenced the recent fatal shooting of a 37-year-old Nicloe Good by an ICE agent during an immigration operation in Minneapolis.
"Donald J. Trump is going to kill you," Kimmel said, holding up a T-shirt with that message. "He isn't just killing people overseas."
Kimmel questioned Trump's response to the shooting, quoting the president's claim that the victim was "a professional agitator" and that the shooting occurred after she "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer."
Kimmel replied, "It didn't look like anybody got run over to me. It looked like a woman got scared and tried to drive away, and they shot her."
The comedian added, "That will be for the court to decide," before airing a statement from the mayor of Minneapolis, who called the ICE account "bull" and said the shooting was "an agent recklessly using power."

Kimmel closed the segment with, "To ICE: Get the f*** out of Minneapolis," and said that's the shirt he wants to see next.
Viewers on X responded with outrage, calling the segment outragious.
"If Trump were really a dictator, Jimmy wouldn't be breathing right now," conservative commentator Sara Rose posted. She later added, "His rhetoric got worse since they reinstated this jacka*s."
Another user penned, "Unbelievable that this is permitted on our airwaves," while another user called it "the definition of inciting violence."
A third wrote, "The TDS is a certifiable disease," referring to what some call "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
"This isn't comedy, it's dangerous nonsense," another wrote.
Other users accused Kimmel of chasing ratings.
"Anything for ratings instead of just being funny," one more posted.

Nah. We couldn’t get that lucky.
The planted audience seemed to like it.
That’s really funny what a comedian.
sounds like grounds for another lawsuit
Yeah, chasing them away.
This is a guy that thinks that parents telling their children that they ate their Halloween candy is funny.
I think his “audience “ is his writers. He has a staff of 200.
He would be nothing without the applause cheerleader.
Kimmel is not known for his intelligence or honesty.
He left out the “if you attempt to run over law enforcement personnel with your vehicle” part.
Good gravy. Leftists go to bed listening to a hateful b*tch and wake up to the hateful b*tches on The View.
This kind of slander shouldn’t be tolerated. Pull their broadcasting license!
Obama’s ICE agents arrested near two million and Biden ICE arrested at least a half million.
Trump didn’t just start using ICE. ICE has been in operation for a long time.
To quote George Patton’s character in the movie (”Now damn it that is ENOUGH!). Somebody or groups need to run this a@@clown in person— and demand he stop this SHIITE! Kimmel has no ratings, he has the massive fagocracy of Disney to prop his idiotic show up. He is not funny, for starters and has always been puerile, 13 year old age goofball crap.
This clown needs to be confronted. He is inciting, without doubt.
But now the border is closed so they are actually deported…..
What’s the difference between Jimmy Kimmel and a raving lunatic in a strait jacket screaming that he hates Trump?
The strait jacket guy doesn’t have a TV show.
It’s time to raise money for the agent just like they did for lover girl.
Please someone get a GiveSendGo account going for the ice agent.
By the way lover girl. Big boy had a great dinner, did you?
Pronto!
Disney hasn’t figured it out yet... This dude is poison. If you want people to watch your TV network... Dump him immediately.
