H3 Podcast host Ethan Klein recently took to Instagram to express support for the protests that are taking place against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department in the United States. These protests, occurring primarily in Los Angeles, California, and sweeping across other major US cities, have emerged as a response to raids orchestrated by the governmental organization in neighborhoods around downtown Los Angeles.
These raids were aimed at implementing an immigration enforcement strategy, with many immigrants across the country being detained as a result. The subsequent protests have become a central point of discussion among political commentators and streamers online, with Ethan Klein also providing his stance on the situation through an Instagram Story.
In his post, Klein (@h3h3productions) expressed support for the protestors while stating that he opposes ICE and "fascism":
"Mad respect to these amazing protestors. These tankie scumbags showed up to sabotage these good people's protest. We oppose fascism, we oppose ICE, we demand liberty BECAUSE we love America."

The protests happening in Los Angeles have been taking the streaming world by storm, with prominent content creators like Zack "Asmongold," Hasan "HasanAbi," and Felix "xQc" discussing these recent developments extensively during their broadcasts.
While Asmongold has disapproved of the anti-ICE protests, Ethan Klein seems to be taking a positive stance towards them, stating that he "stands" with the protestors in what he labeled as "loving" the United States. He wrote:
"Loving your country is GOOD, not a sin. It's because we love it that we nurture it, tend to it, enrich it, improve it. If all you do is HATE America, you only court destruction. F**K THE TANKIES. I stand with these protestors in LOVING America."
In light of Ethan Klein's recent comments, his political stance appears to have converged with HasanAbi's on the topic of the anti-ICE protests, marking a rare instance of the two generally opposing commentators seemingly agreeing on a political subject.
HasanAbi had been involved on the ground with the protestors at one point, even hosting a live Twitch broadcast from ground zero — something that had been condemned by Asmongold.
