  • Podcaster Joe Rogan criticized the Trump administration's mass deportation policies, specifically calling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids "f***ing nuts."
  • Rogan questioned whether the public would have supported the administration's approach if they had known it would involve raiding places like Home Depot to detain individuals, many without criminal records.
  • Despite endorsing Donald Trump for the 2024 election, Rogan has previously voiced criticism of other immigration policies, including the use of a megaprison for migrants.
  • The Trump administration's immigration enforcement has led to an 800 percent increase in arrests of individuals without criminal records by ICE, resulting in over 50,000 people in detention centers.
  • Rogan's comments sparked reactions on social media, with some agreeing with his stance and others noting that mass deportations were a stated policy of the administration.
