Ruffalo, Rogan Clash Over Trump Immigration Raids

Podcaster Joe Rogan has criticized President Donald Trump’s intensified immigration raids, describing the targeting of ordinary migrant workers at construction sites and Home Depot as 'insane.' Actor Mark Ruffalo and progressive groups like The Tennessee Holler reproached Rogan for his belated outrage, noting that aggressive deportation plans were detailed in Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation manifesto, before Trump’s reelection. They argue Rogan enabled these policies by previously supporting Trump despite warnings about the risks to immigrants and vulnerable groups. Trump’s administration defends the raids as fulfilling campaign promises, while protests and legal challenges have erupted, particularly in California. Project 2025 has become a flashpoint, with Trump denying official connections despite significant policy overlap. The controversy reflects broader tensions between public figures, advocates, and the administration over immigration enforcement and accountability.
