Shakira Criticizes Trump Amid ICE Raids, Protests

Shakira, the Colombian-born pop star, has decried the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration policies, saying immigrants in the U.S. are 'living in constant fear.' Reflecting on her move to America at 19, she called for humane treatment of all people, regardless of legal status, and urged unity and activism. Her statements come amid unrest and protests in cities such as Los Angeles following intensified ICE raids and deportations. The situation has escalated politically, with President Trump deploying the National Guard and facing resistance from California officials. During her recent Grammy win, Shakira dedicated her award to immigrants, reaffirming her advocacy for their rights. Her activism reflects a broader movement of public figures supporting immigrant rights and democratic values during a period of heightened political tension.
