As the Trump administration moves to enforce immigration law, HBO’s John Oliver is not happy. On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver claimed that the moves are “always cruel” and declared that Border Czar Tom Homan “can truly rot in hell” for his efforts. Meanwhile, on Monday, Oliver joined NBC’s Seth Meyers on Late Night to claim it is “morally terrible” for people to attempt to avoid Trump’s anger.

On Monday, Meyers wondered, “How do you feel about people who are maybe tapping the brakes or trying to steer clear of his ire?”
Oliver is not a fan, “I think it's—well, I think it's morally terrible. But I also think it's practically a bad decision. I think you feel this way as well. But there's no point in pre-conceding to him, right? It feels like you have to draw—like, there's no point in giving the school bully money before he's asked for it from you.”
