Wrestling With Politics South of the Border
Because nothing says “I’m a serious professional athlete” like turning a wrestling match into a political rally against your own country’s border security. AEW star Brody King decided the perfect venue to protest U.S. immigration policy was at a wrestling event in Mexico City, where he proudly displayed an “Abolish ICE” shirt during the AEW’s “Grand Slam Mexico” event. King, who splits his time between professional wrestling and playing in hardcore band God’s Hate, apparently thought Mexican fans needed his wisdom on U.S. border policies rather than, you know, actual wrestling entertainment.
“AEW star Brody King had fans talking Wednesday night in Mexico City — but it wasn’t just about his match — the pro wrestler rocked an ‘Abolish ICE’ shirt as he made his way to the ring.”
California Radical Defends Lawbreakers
It should shock absolutely no one that King is from California, where leftist policies have transformed once-beautiful cities into dystopian landscapes of crime, homelessness, and apparently, wrestling activists. The timing of King’s little fashion statement comes after ICE raids in Los Angeles triggered violent protests, with law enforcement officers injured, vehicles set on fire, and businesses looted. But sure, ICE is the problem, not the violent mobs attacking officers who are simply enforcing federal law or the foreign nationals illegally entering our country.
“Let me be clear: being undocumented in the United States is not a criminal offense. It is a civil violation. That means it holds the same legal weight as running a stop sign on a bicycle, setting off a firework after a drink, or selling unlicensed fan merch on Etsy. It is subject to civil penalties – typically a fine – not imprisonment, not detention, and certainly not extrajudicial abduction.”
This absurd comparison comes from makeup artist Jose Corella, whose post King shared to justify his anti-ICE stance. Apparently, in the fantasy world of these California elites, illegally entering a sovereign nation and residing there against its laws is comparable to running a stop sign on a bicycle. The utter contempt for national sovereignty and rule of law is astounding, but typical of the coastal bubble mentality that has no concern for the rest of America suffering from unchecked illegal immigration.
Pandering to Foreign Fans While America Suffers
While King was busy playing political activist in Mexico, President Trump was expressing support for ICE and encouraging expanded enforcement operations in more cities. What King and his fellow ICE abolitionists conveniently ignore is that these agents are protecting American communities from the deadly consequences of open borders – the fentanyl epidemic killing tens of thousands of Americans annually, the human trafficking crisis, and the strain on public resources in border communities. But why worry about any of that when you can score cheap political points in a foreign country?
“King’s bold statement came during AEW’s ‘Grand Slam Mexico’ event … as he prepared to compete in a 12-man tag team match in the country’s capital.”
After his political fashion statement, King joined Adam Cole, Bandido, and others to win their tag-team match against Dax Harwood, Lance Archer, and their partners. Perhaps if King focused more on wrestling and less on undermining American law enforcement, we could enjoy sports entertainment without the insufferable politicization of yet another aspect of American culture. But in 2025, it seems too much to ask for entertainment that doesn’t come with a side of progressive grandstanding, even when it happens on foreign soil.
