PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Hey, Portland. Jimmy Kimmel wants to see your “hellhole.”
During his opening monologue for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Wednesday evening, the host and comedian highlighted President Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy federal troops to Portland and other cities where residents have been protesting against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Trump and his buddies in the right-wing media are talking about Portland like its a scene from ‘The Last of Us’, when the reality is this is what these troops are being called in to stop,” Kimmel said, shortly before the late-night show displayed footage of demonstrators dancing to Farruko’s “Pepas” and Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” outside of the ICE facility.
A few protesters were also seen wearing inflatable animal costumes.
