Agreed. The only thing that matters about what anyone says, no matter who it is, is whether the statement is true.
If we discourage anyone from sharing the truth at any time, in any place, then we are only hurting our cause.
Plus being famous is like having a megaphone. Rejecting De Niro’s help here is like bringing a strongly-worded letter to a megaphone fight.


Did you compare this against a reliable source before sharing? If so, could you share a source?
I’m not necessarily disputing these particular factual claims — since I’m on not an expert on this moment in history — but please, please don’t rely uncritically on AI for factual questions.
Edit: a typo


Propaganda 101. They spin it in the beginning:
Some of the workers arrested this month at a Hyundai-LG factory said that although they had entered the United States under murky circumstances, they had always planned to return home.
And then, way further down, they write that there’s no actual evidence that these workers broke any laws:
U.S. and South Korean authorities have not disclosed the visa details for the 317 Koreans who were arrested on Sept. 4. But five of the six engineers The Times interviewed were on six-month B-1 visas, which allow consulting with business associates. One traveled on the 90-day visa-waiver program called the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA, which allows travel for business or pleasure. They all said they were on business trips since they were being paid by their employers back in South Korea.


It is true that “apology” is an overloaded term that can mean many things, depending on context.
You’ve stripped away the context (and therefore bent the word’s meaning here). The substance of what MAGA wanted was an expression of remorse. They thrive on instilling fear and shame in others. They loath details and nuance.
Lexical gymnastics don’t change the simple fact that Kimmel (1) did not express shame for what he said and instead (2) reiterated useful details and nuance. Both of these things oppose the MAGA movement, and that’s a good thing.
