He followed it with a blunt message aimed at Trump and his administration’s immigration enforcement tactics, adding, “Stop this man.”

Keery, best known for playing 'Steve Harrington' on Netflix’s 'Stranger Things' and for his music career under the moniker Djo, did not add further commentary.

Keery’s comments drew swift reaction on social media with many users praising him for speaking out.

One post read, “Joe Keery speaking against Trump, okay lets go.”

Another user wrote, “Great actor, great singer, pro Palestine, advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, anti-Trump. Joe Keery you deserve all the success you have.”

Keery’s remarks came just days after the conclusion of 'Stranger Things', which ended its decade-long run with the finale of Season 5 on January 1.

The first volume of the final season premiered on November 26, and the second volume was released on December 26, bringing the Hawkins saga to an end.

Trump defends ICE agent in Truth Social statement

Trump had addressed the incident after the video of the shooting spread widely online. 

In a Truth Social post, the president claimed the agent acted in self-defense.

“The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,” Trump wrote.

He added that the incident was under review, but blamed political opponents for escalating tensions, stating, “The reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis.”
