Summary

  • Glenn Jacobs, the 59-year-old Knox County mayor known as WWE’s Kane, mocked the Biden administration’s immigration policy on X by comparing it to a wrestling promoter offering free admission, pizza and beer regardless of bankruptcy.
  • His post came as Trump allies kept spotlighting tougher border enforcement, with Customs and Border Protection saying April southwest border apprehensions fell to 8,943.
  • CBP said that total was 94% below the Biden administration’s monthly average and 96% under the December 2023 peak, figures the Trump administration has used to defend its immigration approach.
  • Jacobs, a Republican mayor since 2018 who cannot seek a third term, also urged Knox County voters to back Betsy Henderson and other Republicans in local elections later this month.
