Jeff Bridges channels The Dude to slam ICE: Get 'off the streets and into our beverages, man'

Jeff Bridges is channeling The Dude, his famed character from “The Big Lebowski,” to speak out against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“Let’s get ICE off the streets and into our beverages, man,” Bridges said as The Dude during an appearance Tuesday on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“This aggression will not stand!” Bridges said, in a nod to one of his famous lines from the 1998 film. 

“Let’s just abide, abide together,” the 75-year-old actor said to applause. “We can do this together.”

The comments came after Kimmel, a frequent critic of President Trump, told Bridges, “I feel like we are in such a troubled time.”

“People are getting crazier every day,” Kimmel said, before asking Bridges to “summon The Dude to share some words of wisdom.”

Kimmel had returned to his eponymous show last month after ABC pulled him off the air following backlash — including from Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr — to comments the late-night host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

ICE raids amid the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown have drawn protests and criticism. Department of Homeland Security officials have said the enforcement operations in cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles and Boston are a critical part of an effort to apprehend “the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens” and to target crime.
