Fox host suggests blame for ICE shooting lies with Jimmy Kimmel for not saying 'I'm sorry'

Mediaite reports Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer made a daunting connection between Jimmy Kimmel and a Wednesday shooting at a Dallas ICE facility.

Three people at the facility were shot by a gunman on the roof of an adjacent building on Wednesday morning. Two victims alleged to be detainees were killed, and another was seriously injured, according to CNN.

Authorities confirmed that no officers were injured in the shooting.

Even though the victims on the scene appear to be detainees, FBI Director Kash Patel posted an image on X showing the words: ANTI-ICE” written on bullet casings.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blamed the attack on “far-left” rhetoric about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“For months, we’ve been warning politicians and the media to tone down their rhetoric about ICE law enforcement before someone was killed,” Noem said in a post on X. “These horrendous killings must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences.”

But Hemmer took it further, placing blame squarely on a popular late-night comedian who was removed and then returned to the airwaves by ABC after President Donald Trump’s FCC chairman threatened consequences.

“This is why Jimmy Kimmel needed to say, ‘I’m sorry.’ And he didn’t.” Hemmer said. “And he needs to. He needs to call Erika Kirk and talk to her. And he needs to go on his program and say, I had this lovely conversation with this grieving widow. And this is what we discussed. That’s the proper way you manage this. And that did not happen.”
