Celebrities Unite Against ICE Raids Amid Rising Protests
In a powerful statement on her Instagram, billionaire entrepreneur and reality TV star Kim Kardashian has condemned the recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, asserting that "hardworking people are being ripped from their families in inhumane ways." Her remarks come amid widespread protests in Los Angeles and other cities across the nation, responding to ICE actions that have sparked public outrage.
Kardashian, who boasts a staggering following of 365 million on Instagram, highlighted the integral role immigrants play in the fabric of Los Angeles. "People cannot turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives safely and freely," she emphasized in her June 10 post.
The protests have garnered the attention of numerous influential figures. Musician Finneas, brother to pop star Billie Eilish, claimed on social media that he was teargassed during a protest, accusing authorities of inciting violence. Meanwhile, rapper Doechi made headlines with a passionate speech at the BET Awards, criticizing former President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to suppress protests. "What kind of government is it when military forces are used against us for exercising our democratic right?" she asked.
Celebrities like Pedro Pascal, Mark Ruffalo, Eva Longoria, Kayce, and Chrissy Teigen have also spoken out against the ICE actions, joining the chorus of voices demanding justice and humane treatment for immigrants.
Protests against ICE have erupted in Los Angeles and have since spread to cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. As the public continues to rally against these actions, it’s clear that the conversation surrounding immigration and human rights in the U.S. is gaining momentum.
