James Corden films himself travelling through LAX in response to Donald Trump’s immigration ban
James Corden has responded to Donald Trump’s immigration ban by filming himself travelling through LAX.
The British chat show host showed viewers just how easy it was for him to leave the country by secretly recording a video on his phone.
Titled ‘Post-Ban Trip Through LAX’, Corden can be seen walking past protesters outside the airport, breezing through security, ordering a grilled cheese sandwich and boarding his plane.
A title card reads: “Today, James flew out of Los Angeles. So all of our shows this week have been pre-taped.
“Freedom of movement should be this easy for all legal immigrants. Not just the white and Christian ones.”
The Late Late Show broadcast the clip as an opener to the show, as a comment on the President’s controversial suspension of the US Refugee Admissions Programme and ban on immigration from seven Muslim countries.
A number of high profile stars have spoken out to criticise the award, which many of Sunday night’s SAG Awards speeches focusing on political issues.

Moonlight star Mahershala Ali, who picked up the Best Supporting Actor award, told the crowd:
“My mother is an ordained minister. I'm a Muslim.
“She didn't do backflips when I called her 17 years ago to tell her I converted. But I tell you now, you put things to the side … The love has grown, and that stuff is minutia. It's not that important."
