<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former California GOP Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is weighing in on the ICE raids being conducted in his home state, placing blame on both Republicans and Democrats for failing to prioritize effective immigration reform.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Variety reporters spoke to the actor as he walked the red carpet for the premiere of his Netflix series, “Fubar.” When asked his opinion about President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard and Marines to protect federal buildings and federal workers amid violent protests, Schwarzenegger pivoted and answered a different question instead.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Well, I’m not so much interested in that as I am that the politicians have the responsibility to create immigration reform so we don’t have to have this crap going on in the first place,” he <a href="https://variety.com/2025/scene/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-ice-raids-los-angeles-1236429720/">told</a> the reporter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is the result of Democrats and Republicans not being able to come together in this immigration reform. And so that’s what needs to be done so that you don’t have to go and start arresting people in the first place, so we know who is in this country and who is working here, who has the temporary working permit, who has the permanent working permit,” Schwarzenegger continued. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We don’t even know who is in here,” Schwarzenegger continued. “For decades now, they have been avoiding the subject because it’s an advantage to both parties to not do it. So they’re all political hacks, party hacks, rather than public servants.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Schwarzenegger, who is Republican but has more moderate views on many social issues, served as governor of California from 2003 until 2011.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other celebrities have been outspoken in their criticism of the raids, using social media and awards stages to condemn President Trump’s decision to send in the troops. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Influencer Kim Kardashian also railed against ICE agents doing their jobs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When we’re told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals — great,” Kim Kardashian wrote in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-other-celebs-complain-about-los-angeles-ice-raids">statement</a> shared to her Instagram story. “But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what’s right.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The SKIMS founder also discussed “how deeply immigrants are woven into the fabric&#8221; of Los Angeles. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There HAS to be a BETTER way,” she added.</span></p>
