Cardi B Criticizes Trump’s 'Dictatorship Vibe' Amid ICE Raids, California Plans Legal Action

Cardi B has voiced her frustration with President Trump amid the heightened ICE raids and subsequent protests in Los Angeles, criticizing his approach as authoritarian and expressing doubts that speaking out will effect change. During a recent X Spaces discussion, she explained her silence by stating that Trump does not care about her opinions and might retaliate by increasing deportations to assert his control, which she described as a 'dictatorship vibe.' Cardi B recalled her early warnings about the consequences of a Trump presidency on immigration policy and lamented her disconnection from any representatives or allies in the White House. Despite her fears and perceived futility, she urged Trump to show compassion toward those targeted by ICE raids, emphasizing their significant contributions to the country. The rapper's comments come as the National Guard remains deployed in Los Angeles to manage protests sparked by the aggressive immigration enforcement. Several other artists and political figures have also joined the discourse, highlighting the intensifying national debate over immigration policy and enforcement tactics under the Trump administration.
