Actor John Leguizamo is making headlines with his unapologetic stance on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its supporters. The "John Wick" actor hasn't minced words, openly criticizing the agency and those who back its controversial immigration policies. It's not just Leguizamo – several celebrities have voiced similar concerns, aligning against ICE's methods.
Leguizamo's support for political figures like Kamala Harris during the last presidential election is no secret, and his recent comments have only solidified his position on immigration issues. In a candid public statement, he urged, "If you follow ICE, unfollow me." His message is clear: he firmly opposes ICE's actions and wants no association with its supporters.
“If you follow ICE, unfollow me.”
The actor didn't stop there. He went further, advising ICE supporters to steer clear of his movies and shows. His bold statement, recorded in a red-lit room and shared as an Instagram reel with the caption "Abolish ice!", went viral, racking up over 600,000 likes and 10,000 comments in just a day. While many fans applauded his courage, some disagreed, citing the necessity of ICE due to crimes by undocumented immigrants.
Critics also noted Leguizamo's silence during Barack Obama's presidency when similar immigration policies were in place. However, the actor remains undeterred, continuing to speak his truth.
In a related incident, former actor Dean Cain's announcement of joining ICE in 2025 drew widespread criticism from the entertainment industry. Leguizamo was quick to respond, sharing a meme labeling Cain as a "Has/Been" and questioning his decision to volunteer as an ICE officer. "How big of a loser do you have to be to volunteer to be an ICE OFFICER???" he quipped on Instagram.
Other celebrities joined the fray. Actor Kevin McHale didn't hold back, calling Cain a "f*cking pathetic loser." Comedian Margaret Cho also chimed in with a strong message, questioning Cain's decision given his Japanese heritage and the history of internment during World War II.
As the debate rages on, the question remains: should stars like John Leguizamo share their political opinions so openly? Share your thoughts!
