‘Jersey Shore’ Star Defends President Trump’s Deportation Policies, Blames ICE Clashes on ‘Puppeteers’

Vinny Guadagnino is sharing his thoughts on what is fueling the current state of chaos between ICE agents and civilians.

This week, Instagram users flocked to the comment section underneath the 38-year-old Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star’s most recent post — which promoted his upcoming stand-up comedy shows — to question his support of the Trump administration and ICE in the wake of the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The reality TV personality responded to multiple people on the app.

One person commented in part, “Vinny, I think people are mad bc you support Trump. What ICE is doing is not ok. Until it doesn’t happen to you, you won’t understand.”

“ICE deporting 3m people under Obama administration and 1m under Biden was ok but now that Trump has deported 1m (so far in two terms) that’s not ok ?” Guadagnino replied in part. “The politicians/media has brainwashed everyone to believe something different is happening and it’s making people fight the police and get killed so that they can stay in power and become rich.”

Responding to a separate fan, the Dancing With The Stars alum said he is not “left nor right,” noting, “I believe higher power puppeteers are causing the civil war between ICE and the empathetic protesters on the street in order for political gain and power.”

In another comment, Guadagnino again brought up immigration statistics from former Democratic presidents, saying they also used ICE and claiming, “there wasn’t as much outrage on the streets and rioting because the media and leadership were not causing the chaos and sending people into the fire through emotional manipulation.”

Guadagnino also discussed Pretti, the ICU nurse who was shot and killed by ICE agents on January 24, admitting his death was unjustified.

“I believe Alex was a victim of somehow feeling compelled to be in the middle of a police investigation protesting and defending other protesters leading to his WRONGFUL tragic death by angry young men with guns who should be held accountable if wrong doing was done,” Guadagnino wrote. “Now his death is being used as a political tool by both sides to shape their narrative (like Renee good), when I’m saying he wouldn’t have even been on the scene a few years ago when democratic leadership and still had his life.”
