- Kid Rock's Nashville bar, Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse, closed early on May 10 to avoid an ICE raid during a weeklong operation.

- Kid Rock publicly endorsed President Trump's policies to accelerate deportations and legal immigration, tweeting on May 19 that he supports speeding up the process for 'GREAT immigrants.'
- These events reinforce Kid Rock's long-standing alignment with Trump on immigration enforcement and cultural issues amid ongoing national debates about immigration policy.
