Joe Rogan urged Trump to reconsider deporting migrant workers

Trump reacts to Joe Rogan endorsement
  • Joe Rogan reportedly urged Donald Trump to reconsider deporting migrant workers without criminal records during a private dinner on June 30, also attended by UFC boss Dana White.
  • This private discussion occurred just days before Rogan publicly criticized the administration's 'insane' raids by ICE agents targeting non-criminal migrant workers.
  • Rogan, whose endorsement is seen as instrumental in helping Trump secure the presidency, had previously stated that aggressive migrant deportations were not what voters 'signed up for'.
  • Trump has previously acknowledged that mass deportations caused issues, mentioning a desire to avoid removing workers from farms and hospitality.
  • However, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins recently stated there would be 'no amnesty' for migrant farm workers, suggesting a shift towards automation and US citizen participation.
