Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel applauded Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after Frey told the agency to “get the f*** out” following a fatal shooting on Wednesday.
Kimmel said Trump “isn’t just killing people overseas,” while discussing the Minneapolis shooting, in which an ICE officer shot and killed a woman who attempted to “weaponize her vehicle,” according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Kimmel said he watched the video of the shooting and suggested the woman was shot after she “got scared” and “tried to drive away” from the ICE officers.
“To ICE: get the f*** out of Minneapolis. Get the f*** out of all of these cities,” Kimmel said.
Frey addressed the shooting on Wednesday afternoon, calling claims that the ICE officer acted in self-defense “bulls***.” Kimmel said Frey’s message is “the shirt I want to see,” displaying a black shirt with his quote.
Earlier in the show, Kimmel made digs at President Donald Trump and Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) warning to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Graham warned the ayatollah on Tuesday that “Donald J. Trump is going to kill you” if he continues “killing your people.” Kimmel then showed a red shirt with white letters with the quote, “Donald J. Trump is gonna kill you,” in a similar style to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hat.
Kimmel made headlines last year when his show was briefly suspended after he commented on the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk. Kimmel also thanked “Donald Jennifer Trump” during his acceptance speech for best talk series during the 2026 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night.
THE ICE SHOOTING COULD LEAD DEMOCRATS BACK TO SUMMER OF 2020 POLITICS
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a Wednesday evening press conference that the woman who was killed in Minneapolis has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Good. Noem said Good used her vehicle to block the path of ICE officers. Noem added that the ICE officer who fired the shots was briefly treated at a local hospital before returning to his family.
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) also pushed back against the argument that the ICE officer acted in self-defense, telling others not to believe “this propaganda machine.” He ensured “a full, fair, and expeditious investigation” would be conducted.
