Kardashian Condemns ICE Raids, Protests Escalate

Kim Kardashian publicly condemned recent ICE raids in Los Angeles, describing the actions as 'inhumane' and calling for a better approach to immigration enforcement. While she acknowledged the need to remove violent criminals, Kardashian criticized the separation of innocent, hardworking individuals from their families and stressed immigrants' importance to Los Angeles. Her comments, shared to 356 million Instagram followers, prompted backlash from Homeland Security officials, who emphasized that some arrested individuals had serious criminal histories. The raids have sparked widespread protests in Los Angeles, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops and Marines, a move criticized by local politicians. Kardashian's advocacy represents a shift considering her previous public interactions with Trump and other conservatives. The protests and federal response have led to heightened tensions, with violence and unrest spreading to other cities.
