"Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che made the remarks during the show on Saturday.
Brennan expressed frustration over ICE raids in his home state but played a clip showing an ICE agent slipping on ice - a moment that drew loud laughter from the audience. Brennan said the incident gave him a "glimmer of hope."
