Overview

  • Under Project 2025, ICE has ramped up raids at construction sites, farms and retail outlets to detain thousands of undocumented and non-criminal migrant workers daily.
  • The intensified sweeps have triggered protests in cities like Los Angeles and a legal standoff after President Trump federalized the California National Guard over Governor Newsom’s objections.
  • On July 2, longtime Trump supporter Joe Rogan called the targeting of ordinary migrant workers “insane,” marking a sharp break from his prior endorsement.
  • Mark Ruffalo responded on Threads on July 6, accusing Rogan of “pretending” ignorance of Project 2025 and questioning his awareness of its deportation agenda.
  • Their clash illustrates growing dissent among cultural influencers as the real-world impact of the administration’s expanded deportation strategy becomes evident.
