AEW star Brody King wears ‘Abolish ICE' shirt at show in Mexico
All Elite Wrestling star Brody King wore an 'Abolish ICE' T-shirt as the company held 'Grand Slam Mexico' in Mexico City on Wednesday night. King was a part of a 14-person tag-team match with Adam Cole, Atlantis, Atlantis Jr., Bandido Daniel Garcia and Templario. The pro wrestling stars defeated the team of Dax Harwood, Hechicero, Josh Alexander, Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Lance Archer and Volador Jr. Advertisement The event took place in Arena México and featured wrestlers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) — one of the top promotions in Mexico. King's apparent call to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) came as he showed support for protestors in Los Angeles who were against the raids that took place in the city. The protesters took a violent turn at several points during the week, with law enforcement officers being injured, autonomous vehicles being set on fire and stores being looted. He shared a post from Mexican makeup artist Jose Corella, which started 'Let me be clear.' Advertisement 'What's happening in Los Angeles right now is not only morally reprehensible — it's legally indefensible. This is a sanctuary city, a designation that was democratically voted on and enacted into law by the residents of this city — not by political opportunists grandstanding from a golf course in Florida,' the message read. 'Let me be clear: being undocumented in the United States is not a criminal offense. It is a civil violation. That means it holds the same legal weight as running a stop sign on a bicycle, setting off a firework after a drink, or selling unlicensed fan merch on Etsy. It is subject to civil penalties — typically a fine — not imprisonment, not detention, and certainly not extrajudicial abduction.

President Donald Trump has since doubled down on his support of ICE in Los Angeles and called on ICE officers to expand their efforts to other cities.

AEW star Brody King takes huge jab at Donald Trump immigration policy as he wears protest T-shirt in Mexico
Professional wrestling star Brody King took a huge jab at President Donald Trump 's immigration policies while performing in Mexico City for All Elite Wrestling on Wednesday night. As the 6-foot-6 AEW heavyweight made his solo entrance to the ring in front of more than 12,000 fans in Mexico, while the show aired live on TBS in the United States, King flashed an 'Abolish ICE' t-shirt, easily captured by cameras. King, who is from the Los Angeles suburb of Van Nuys, made the statement to end America's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency as a show of support for the protestors in his home region rallying against the Trump administration's deportation policies and tactics. The protests have been going on for nearly two weeks, as the president has escalated matters by bringing in the National Guard and armed forces without the permission of Governor Gavin Newsom. King's choice to protest as an American citizen in front of the energetic Mexican crowd comes with the backdrop of Trump's frosty relationship with the country, dating back to his first term in the White House. The 38-year-old King is not the only Los Angeles-affiliated athlete to speak out about the protests, as Dodgers star Enrique 'Kike' Hernandez did so over the weekend. BRODY KING!! #AEWGrandSlamMexico #AEW — TalonWulf タロン・ウルフ (@talonthe2nd) June 19, 2025 'I may not be Born & Raised, but this city adopted me as one of their own,' Hernandez said on Instagram. 'I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city. Los Angeles and Dodger fans have welcomed me, supported me and shown me nothing but kindness and love.' 'This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights. #CityOfImmigrants' Trump's policies have seen masked federal agents arresting and deporting people from the country without due process. The Dodgers, who visited Donald Trump in the White House recently as World Series champions, have not commented about the scenes. 'Honestly, I don't know enough, to be quite honest with you,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Friday. 'I know that when you're having to bring people in and deport people, all the unrest, it's certainly unsettling for everyone. But I haven't dug enough and can't speak intelligently on it.' Others in the sports world, such as Auburn head men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl, have backed Trump's decisions, insisting that the president is 'making America safe again.' 'We didn't need new laws, we just needed a president that would enforce the ones we already had! President @realDonaldTrump is making America safe again!,' he wrote on X. The demonstrations in LA quickly turned into riots that saw downtown businesses looted and vehicles set ablaze. Trump then called in 4,000 members of the National Guard and 700 Marines to quell the disorder. California has sued to regain control of the National Guardsmen from Trump, arguing he overstepped his authority. That suit is working its way through federal court. Over the weekend millions marched as part of the 'No Kings' events that were organized across the country. The events were coordinated to coincide with Trump's military parade through Washington DC. Trump has made deporting undocumented immigrants a key priority for his second term, after successfully campaigning against an alleged 'invasion' by criminals. King was part of the winning team at AEW's 'Grand Slam Mexico' in a 14-man tag team match. The 285-pound behemoth won 2022's 'Royal Rampage' match and is a former AEW World Trios Champion alongside Buddy Matthews and Malakai Black, also known by professional wrestling fans as Buddy Murphy and Aleister Black respectively.

Change Islands teenager named 'hero' by World Oceans Day committee
Newfoundland and Labrador celebrated World Oceans Day this weekend, and the celebration committee named a new hero to mark it. Brody King, 14, of Change Islands spotted a strange species of crab while walking near the coast in his hometown, and correctly identified it as the invasive European green crab. "[It] looked different than the normal ones we were used to seeing," King told CBC News at a World Oceans Day celebration at the Marine Institute in St. John's on Saturday. With that in mind, he said he and his cousin brought a few of the crabs home and sent them to Fisheries and Oceans Canada. A DFO coordinator called up the World Oceans Day Newfoundland and Labrador committee to commend King for his effort. "Here we are, I'm ocean hero of the year," he said. King said people in his community now know how to recognize the invasive crab by its unusual colour and back markings. He said he's going to take his award home with pride. "I've been on the ocean since I was a little kid, since I could walk," he said. "It means a lot to me that we could help the ocean and protect it." WATCH | This teen flagged invasive green crab to the DFO — and earned the title of N.L.'s first Ocean Hero of the Year: 14-year-old from Change Islands named N.L.'s first Ocean Hero of the Year 2 days ago Duration 1:50 World Oceans Day committee chair Dawn Mercer said many people in the province feel that same connection to the water, which is one of the reasons why it's important to conserve it. It also makes for a successful awareness event. "This has been a phenomenal, phenomenal outreach in terms of World Oceans Day," said Mercer. "The reason why we do it is because it's a celebration. It's a celebration of our oceans, but it's also a celebration of us as Newfoundlanders and Labradorians." Educational activities are a big help, said Mercer, who is also a senior oceans biologist with the DFO. The Marine Institute featured touch tanks with different underwater creatures, story readings and other family-friendly activities. Mercer said the day also reminds people of the tangible ways to help. "If you're at the grocery store, maybe buy something that's not in plastic packaging," Mercer said. "It's just the little everyday things that we can tell people while they're at our events that they can take home and start implementing in their everyday lives," she added.
