ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel urged supporters of illegal immigrants to “fight” Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with rubber sex toys during a Wednesday monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Kimmel made the remarks while discussing ICE activity and protests that have taken place in several cities.
“You know, with all this madness happening, it’s easy to forget that ICE is still out there rounding people up and sending them who the hell knows where,” he said in a clip highlighted by Newsbusters.
Kimmel then referenced a February protest event in Minneapolis and said similar demonstrations had taken place elsewhere.

“But there are also still Americans out there fighting the good fight. You know, in February, the protesters in Minneapolis held an event called Operation Dildo Blitz. They brought a battalion of rubber sex toys. Sometimes you have to fight dildos with dildos, and I guess this idea is catching on, because there have been dildo blitzes,” he added.
He went on to mention Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, while describing additional protest scenes.
“This is Los Angeles. There’s a dildo blitz. That one is another one here in L.A. In Portland, Oregon, there were just dildos all over the place. Where they get these dildos, I don’t know. Maybe from the Rudy Giuliani collection, but it’s a nice and harmless way to let ICE know what you think of them,” he claimed.

The remarks came as anti-ICE demonstrations have continued in several cities.
The source text states that protesters have thrown the rubber devices at ICE officers and also engaged in other conduct, including rushing law enforcement, damaging and blockading vehicles, and physically harassing officers during enforcement operations.
According to the source text, six protesters were arrested in Los Angeles last week after throwing the sex toys at officers.
The source text also said that, in Minneapolis, protesters using the devices mistakenly injured one of their own members.

Kimmel’s monologue also drew attention because it came as he has not publicly addressed allegations involving former Rep. Eric Swalwell, according to the source text.
Swalwell had launched his campaign for California governor on Kimmel Live months before resigning after multiple women accused him of unwanted sexual advances and rape, according to the source text.
The same week, Kimmel also appeared on a podcast hosted by former First Lady Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson.
During that appearance, he criticized MAGA voters and compared their conduct to Christian teaching.
“The cardinal rule of MAGA is to never admit when you are wrong,” he fumed.
“It’s the opposite of Christianity. I mean, it’s the basis of the whole faith you know, is asking for forgiveness. And that seems to be cast aside.”
Kimmel’s comments on Jimmy Kimmel Live and on the Obama podcast added to a week in which he addressed immigration protests, ICE enforcement, and supporters of President Donald Trump in separate public remarks.
His Wednesday monologue focused on the demonstrations against ICE and framed the use of sex toys as a protest tactic.
The source text described the devices as being thrown at officers in some cases and cited arrests in Los Angeles tied to that conduct.
It also cited an incident in Minneapolis in which a protester was reportedly struck by the same objects being used during the demonstration.
The comments placed Kimmel at the center of another political controversy involving immigration enforcement and anti-ICE activism.
His remarks also added to criticism surrounding public figures who comment on ICE operations while protests continue in major cities, including Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Portland.
