Joe Rogan spoke out against federal immigration enforcement after discussing the fatal shooting of Minnesota mother Renee Nicole Good on his podcast. During an interview with Senator Rand Paul, Rogan called the killing a tragedy and said a US citizen was shot. Good was killed in her car during an ICE operation near downtown Minneapolis, with officials claiming the agent acted in self-defense. Rogan questioned that account, arguing the video appeared to show Good turning away, and warned that militarized street enforcement creates dangerous, chaotic encounters. He said aggressive tactics risk sweeping up US citizens without papers, likening roving checks to Gestapo-style demands that erode public trust. The comments marked a shift for Rogan, who endorsed Donald Trump before the election after hosting Trump and running mate JD Vance. In recent months, he has criticized Trump, including over remarks about actor Rob Reiner's death and secrecy over the Jeffrey Epstein files.
