Hollywood stars have taken a knee on the “Trump is Hitler” meme, pivoting to the men and women of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

A gaggle of notable names have ridiculed ICE for daring to enforce the nation’s immigration laws — laws supported by a majority of U.S. voters.

The agents, to date, have mostly focused on the worst offenders. Think illegal immigrants accused of heinous crimes who managed to remain free during the Biden administration.

Now, they’re being targeted by President Trump’s no-nonsense border czar Tom Homan. And progressive stars are raging everywhere they can against Team Homan. Late-night TV. Social media. Interviews.

Stephen King played the Nazi card against ICE officials from the progressive Utopia known as BlueSky, including a misspell of “Gestapo.”

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo [sic].

Comedian Patton Oswalt used less incendiary rhetoric, by comparison, to light up ICE during a recent “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance.

Oswalt called them “Pillsbury Stormtroopers,” comparing their alleged physiques to his own lumpy form.

Your knees are hurting, your hips are screaming, and your back is aching … And you’re thinking, ‘Why didn’t I just stay home and play Red Dead Redemption and eat Sun Chips instead of coming out here in the heat where everyone’s booing me and I’m realizing that I’m the biggest douchebag on the planet?’

Oswalt’s rhetoric grew uglier when it came to Trump’s border czar. The “Ratatouille” star, after hearing about death threats tied to Homan, weighed in via BlueSky.

good. i hope it gets so much worse for this rancid pile of polenta.

The far-Left hosts at “The View” couldn’t let the ICE raids go unnoticed. The ABC squad saw the chaos encircling Los Angeles earlier this month during the open borders protests and found the source of the problem.

They pointed to the ICE agents, not the protesters burning cars and hurling bricks at law enforcement officers.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg says the city’s pro-illegal immigration rallies were “mostly peaceful” until ICE agents arrived on the scene. She leaned on impeccable sources for her wisdom.

…suddenly these guys showed up and flipped everybody out. So, that’s what my family is saying.

Sunny Hostin chimed in, playing the “mostly peaceful” card and backing up Goldberg’s anti-ICE assessment.

Credit pop superstar Lizzo with the most deranged take on the matter.

She claimed “illegal” immigrants aren’t real because no one actually owns land.

When people finally understand that these terms and ideas are tools for racism and capitalism we can truly be free. We can finally see the oppressors for who they are.

Sometimes, profanity is a celebrity’s best friend. Take Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. He blasted ICE agents as “motherf****rs” in a Spanish screed on Instagram, tied to a video of agents interrogating unnamed people.

“Look, those motherf——s are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela,” he posted in Spanish.

Not to be outdone, “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert didn’t step in when one of his guests promoted extreme rhetoric from the show’s signature CBS couch. Instead, he piled on.

Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-FL) told the far-Left host ICE agents are “kidnapping people.”

We have ICE federal agents pulling up, terrorizing our communities, hopping out of unmarked vans, stealing and yes, kidnapping people, not giving them their day in court and yes, human trafficking them to other nations.

Colbert nodded along, doubling down on the kidnapping verbiage.

Pop superstar and “Wicked” alum Ariana Grande conflated illegal immigration with lawfare attacks against President Trump to her 270+ million Instagram followers.

Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected president? It’s so confusing.

Veteran singer Shakira leaned into the fear-mongering part of the celebrity playbook, also conflating legal and illegal immigration during a BBC interview.

She described the immigrant experience as “living in constant fear.”

Now, more than ever, we have to remain united. Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of all people must always be humane.

Mark Ruffalo, one of the most outspoken stars in the Hollywood galaxy, railed against ICE efforts during California’s “No Kings” June 14 protest.

We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator, and we don’t see an opposition that’s powerful enough to stand up against the trampling of our rights and the trampling of the Constitution that’s happening every single day with executive orders, with the refusal to obey court orders, kidnapping of immigrants, people who are here legally, people who their children are being taken from them.

Celebrity Nation decried the January 6 riot and demanded protesters pay a stiff price for battling beleaguered Capitol Police officers. Things are different now, apparently. They could have objected to ICE raids on different grounds, suggesting that hard-working illegals should find a path to citizenship, not a one-way ticket out of the U.S.

Instead, in the grand “Spinal Tap” tradition, they turned the incendiary rhetoric up to 11.

Worst of all, none of this is happening in a vacuum. The Department of Homeland Security says attacks on ICE agents have shot up 500% in recent weeks. ICE agents are routinely doxxed, forcing them to mask up to protect their loved ones.

The stars won’t stop their incendiary rhetoric, apparently, even if it gets someone hurt. Or worse.
