John Leguizamo has let out a stern warning to all ICE supporters in his space.
The "John Wick" actor has been open about his stance against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and those who support the agency. Now he has added the cherry on top, saying all supporters of the agency should avoid him altogether.
John Leguizamo joined other celebrities in publicly criticizing a fellow actor for joining ICE. He also gave his voice during the presidential election in support of Donald Trump's major opponent, Kamala Harris.
John Leguizamo Wants No Connection With ICE Supporters

"If you follow ICE, unfollow me," Leguizamo opens his online statement, stressing that he wants no interaction with anyone who supports U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as he is strongly opposed to their actions in the country.
The actor takes a step further, adding that those who stand with the force should not even watch his movies or attend the shows he hosts. The actor filmed the short clip with only his face in frame in a red-lit room.
The Instagram reel, which carried the simple two-word caption "Abolish ice!", has received over 10,000 comments, close to 600,000 likes, and thousands of shares in a 24-hour period.
Fans in the comments praised the actor for taking his stance, sending clapping emojis, hearts, and fireballs. Others wrote that they shared Leguizamo's opinions, reiterating "Abolish ICE!" comments. "Thank you for speaking the truth and calling out ice thugs," a user wrote.
The Actor Also Faced Some Heat For His Post

Not everyone agreed with the 65-year-old's statement, even though he received a handful of positive reactions to his message from people who shared his views.
Some users took to the comments to list out instances of deaths, sexual harassment, and other vices committed by undocumented immigrants in different U.S. states to make their point that ICE is needed.
Many other commenters called Leguizamo out for not speaking up during former President Barack Obama's regime, claiming he also attacked immigrants in his time.
A user penned that Obama deported more immigrants than Trump has, adding that people who do not support the leaders and laws of the land should leave the country.
Another sect of online audience mocked, emphasising that Leguizamo does not need to tell people not to watch his shows. "That should be no issue because nobody watches your movies anyway," a user wrote.
Leguizamo felt the heat, with countless commenters saying he was not a good actor and that he had not had any good shows air in years. Others declared their support for Trump and ICE rather than the actor's message.
The 65-Year-Old Previously Lashed Out At Fellow Entertainer For Joining ICE

Last year, "Superman" actor Dean Cain announced his decision to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and it was not well-received. Many industry members fired at the actor for this move, including Leguizamo.
The "John Wick" star reposted a meme featuring a photo of Cain, with "Pronouns: Has/Been" plastered across his face. He also shared another picture of Cain on Instagram, which he captioned "How big of a loser do you have to be to volunteer to be an ICE OFFICER???"
The Blast shared that Leguizamo was not the only one to throw jabs at the recent ICE recruit; Kevin McHale also took a spin, claiming Cain was doing it for attention, calling him a "f-cking pathetic loser." Another entertainer, comedian Margaret Cho, also did not hold back in hurling criticism at Cain's decision.
"Why would you join ICE and encourage people to join ICE when your ancestors were interned in World War II? You're Japanese, you're not even white… I know you, and you are not white," she said in an Instagram video.
Recent Fatal ICE Shootings Have Sparked A Change From The POTUS

The agency and President Donald Trump have been getting a lot of negative publicity in the media owing to the viral videos of ICE officers forcefully arresting and sometimes killing some U.S. citizens.
The recent shootings that shook the media in Minneapolis were of a 37-year-old Alex Pretti and Renée Nicole Good.
Pretti was reported to be an ICU nurse and a U.S. citizen whose life was taken by the federal agents during a heated confrontation with individuals protesting the federal government’s immigration crackdown in the city.
Making waves in the media, Trump expressed concerns about the sustainability of his administration’s ongoing operations in Minneapolis. He expressed that his administration is portrayed chiefly on the negative end of the spectrum.
NBC News reported that Trump announced the number of federal agents in Minneapolis would be reduced and that he would replace Bovino, who has been the face of the hard-edged enforcement operation.
Bovino was to be replaced by Tom Homan, whom Trump’s adviser claims would shift the focus back to the goal of fishing out fraud and would do so with a different approach.
John Leguizamo Gave His Voice For Kamala Harris During The Elections

During the last presidential election, Leguizamo shared an insight into a move he felt might increase Harris’s support, especially among the Latin community. He advised her to look outside the American entertainment circle to boost her chances of winning Trump by a significant margin.
The TV star shared that the politician needed strong support from Latina celebs and even requested their endorsements. He named rapper Bad Bunny, stating that his popularity would help shake the grounds, moving more Latinos to vote for her if she got his endorsement.
As reported by The Blast, Leguizamo also strongly suggested that the former senator reached out to actress America Ferrera for similar support as a one-way golden ticket to profound success in the elections.
At the time, other American celebrities had endorsed Harris, including Taylor Swift, who publicly declared her support for the politician and her vision.
