John Leguizamo Calls Donald Trump’s Mass Deportations “Dehumanizing”

John Leguizamo has slammed President Donald Trump‘s recent mass deportations since taking office for his second presidential term. Leguizamo, known for using his platform to advocate for Latin rights, has been vocal about his opposition to Trump’s immigration policies.

In a recent Instagram video, the actor expressed deep frustration over the administration’s handling of deportations, emphasizing the impact on hardworking families and individuals who have contributed to America. The 64-year-old condemned Trump targeting Latin communities and called for others to speak up.

Leguizamo sharply criticized Trump’s deportation policy as an “attack on Latin immigrants,” adding that the order “dehumanizes the community.” He began with, “My immigrant brothers and sisters I know you’re not felons, I know you’re not criminals, I know you’re not drug dealers—you’re the hardest working people in America.” He added that he felt “very offended” by Trump’s initiative.

The Emmy-winning actor has consistently used his influence to challenge narratives that portray immigrants in a negative light. His concerns stem from Trump’s long-standing ideologies on immigration, which includes increasing deportations, expanding detention centers, and reinstating measures that can separate families.

Beyond his public statements, Leguizamo recently took his activism a step further by engaging directly with Latino Trump supporters.

In a segment on The Daily Show, he went undercover to understand why some Latino voters back Trump, despite his anti-immigrant rhetoric. His findings revealed that some had concerns regarding economics, some were simply misinformed, and others spoke of the division within the Latino community.

Leguizamo has called on Americans to reject policies from Trump that directly affect Latin communities. Take a look at his sentiments and also his undercover mission above.
