Jimmy Kimmel has offered a satirical solution to Donald Trump's handling of two very different protest crises, suggesting the president send Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from Minneapolis to Iran instead. The late‑night host used his Monday monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live to highlight what he sees as a stark double standard in the White House's approach to demonstrations at home and abroad, branding Trump the 'Lie-tollah' as he drew parallels with Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Kimmel said that 'whilst the White House is trying to squash the protests here, the Lie-atollah is said to be mulling over a military strike on Iran to support the protesters there', referring to Trump's threats to intervene militarily in Iran, where activists say at least 2,000 people have been killed in anti‑government demonstrations. He then joked, 'I have an idea: send all those guys from ICE out of Minneapolis to Iran. They could help.'
