Celebrities Unite Against ICE Raids in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has become a battleground for immigration rights as celebrities speak out against recent ICE raids. Beginning on June 6, coordinated operations by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have led to significant public protests, prompting President Trump to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to manage the situation.
Kim Kardashian, with a following of 356 million, used her platform to emphasize the inhumanity of separating families. "When we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families… we have to speak up," she stated in an Instagram Story. In response, Tricia McLaughlin from the Department of Homeland Security dismissed Kardashian’s concerns, highlighting that recent detentions included convicted criminals.
Eva Longoria also weighed in, expressing her dismay on TikTok, where she labeled the mass deportations "inhumane." She urged viewers to recognize the essential role immigrants play in society, stating, "We can’t deny them as humans."
Chrissy Teigen echoed these sentiments on her Instagram, sharing a message that emphasizes the inherent dignity of all individuals, not just their labor: "We fight for the rights of immigrants because they are human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity." She also provided links to organizations supporting immigrants.
Other celebrities have joined the conversation as well. Finneas, a Grammy winner, recounted being tear-gassed at a peaceful protest, while Pedro Pascal celebrated LA’s diversity in a video shared on social media.
As the national debate on immigration continues, these prominent voices highlight the urgency for compassion and protection of immigrant rights in the wake of increased federal enforcement actions. The protests illustrate a growing movement advocating for humane treatment of individuals facing deportation.
