Kid Rock Doubles Down on Immigration Stance After His Nashville Bar Is Targeted by ICE

A MAGA-loving musician, Kid Rock, responded to reports that his Nashville bar was the target of a series of ICE raids by saying he supports deportations “no matter where they are.”The rock star went after the Daily Mail’s response to a post on X that his bar, Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse, was the “next target for Trump’s sweeping ICE raids,” alleging that the news outlet was using his name for “click bait.”“Clearly I do not have anything to do with day to day operations at my Honky Tonk but it’s good click bait, I get it,” Kid Rock said in a post on X. “That being said I 100% support getting illegal criminals out of our country no matter where they are. I also like President Trump want to speed up the process of getting GREAT immigrants into our country — LEGALLY!”“It’s that simple folks. But the below is not a juicy enough headline to get clicks and views … in this day and age the truth often is not,” he added along with posting a link to the Daily Mail’s article.The New Orleans field office for ICE recently conducted a weeklong operation that led to 197 illegal immigrants being arrested in Nashville. A report from the Nashville Scene published in the wake of the raids claims that the kitchen at Kid Rock’s restaurant and several other bars owned by his business partner, Steve Smith, had closed early during a Saturday night rush to avoid the raids throughout the city. Many restaurant workers already had been calling out of work as news of the raids spread. “We were already understaffed because of the ICE raids throughout the weekend,” an anonymous employee with Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk told the Scene. “Then, around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, our manager came back and told anyone without legal status to go home … it was crazy busy. But there was no one in the kitchen to cook the food.”
