Kim Kardashian Speaks Out To Condemn ICE Raids in Passionate Defense of Immigrants: “There HAS To Be A BETTER Way”
Kim Kardashian Uses Her Voice To Defend Immigrant Communities Amid L.A. ICE Raids
Kim Kardashian is speaking up and speaking bold.

Kim took to her platform to issue a powerful statement on what she’s witnessed, and how it’s affecting the city that raised her:
“When we’re told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals— great. But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what’s right.
Growing up in LA, I’ve seen how deeply immigrants are woven into the fabric of this city. They are our neighbors, friends, classmates, coworkers, and family. No matter where you fall politically, it’s clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can’t turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely. There HAS to be a BETTER way.”
Trump Responds With Troops And Tough Talk As L.A. Tensions Explode
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is doubling down.
As demonstrators flooded the streets of L.A., President Donald Trump praised ICE’s actions and announced he was sending an estimated 2,000 National Guard troops to “restore order.”
He also mocked protesters and defended his actions, posting this controversial statement:
“If our troops didn’t go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now, just like so much of their housing burned to the ground. The great people of Los Angeles are very lucky that I made the decision to go in and help!!!”
Critics say this is less about “safety” and more about control, especially as the administration continues to target immigrant communities and silence dissent.
California Officials Fight Back: Newsom And Bonta File Lawsuit Against Trump
California Governor Gavin Newsom isn’t staying quiet either.
In response to Trump’s decision to deploy troops and allegedly commandeer a CalGuard unit, Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit demanding an end to what they call an illegal and unnecessary federal takeover.
The lawsuit argues that Trump’s actions are not only unconstitutional but are inflaming tensions in already vulnerable communities. Legal experts are calling this a battle for the soul of California.
Kim Kardashian Joins List of Celebs Taking a Stand
Kim isn’t alone.
In recent days, a number of celebs have all expressed outrage over the ICE raids and the way immigrant communities are being targeted.
Still, Kim’s statement hit differently. Why? Because she’s not just sharing a quote—she’s demanding a better way forward.
This ain’t just about L.A. This is about what kind of country we want to be.
People are tired of the fear, the raids, the separation of families, and the militarization of our neighborhoods. As Kim said: “There HAS to be a BETTER way.”
And honestly, she’s right.
