WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash slammed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and accused the agency of using fascist and Nazi tactics in immigration enforcement in the United States.
Nash discussed the agency on the latest episode of his weekly Kliq This podcast with co-host Sean Oliver. He said the country has to keep the border secure, but it does not have to be done the way it’s being done now. “We don’t have to f****** do it in a f****** fascist Nazi,” Nash said.
But Nash didn’t join the calls to get rid of ICE. He believes the agency has a purpose, but it should work like an elite unit with much more control. He wants the focus to be on violent criminals coming into the country rather than people who have lived in the U.S. for years without breaking the law. He knocked deportation cases where families are faced with tough decisions.
Nash brought up a video he saw of a man being pulled out of a car and an ICE agent putting a gun to his forehead before simply walking away. Nash, who appeared in the first John Wick movie in 2014, said he wondered if he was watching a fifth movie in the series.
Nash referenced Nazism when he called out ICE on an April episode of Kliq This. On that episode, he said many international fans stayed away from WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas because they were worried about dealing with customs and ICE.
Nash isn’t the only name in wrestling to speak out against ICE. Mick Foley and Jesse Ventura have also been publicly critical of the agency’s actions during Donald Trump’s administration.
