Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Eva Longoria and even more against Trump’s ice raids: “ These are not criminals ”
Celebrities make themselves known as vocal opponents of the ongoing ice immigration raids while the demonstrations continue in Los Angeles.
“There are ruthless attacks that create fear and chaos in our communities in the name of the law and order,” said rapper Doechii while accepting his bari on Monday. “Trump uses military forces to stop a demonstration, and I want you to consider all the type of government it seems to be when each time we exercise our democratic protest law, the army is deployed against us. What type of government are people swept away and torn from their families? ”
She continued: “And I think that it is my responsibility to use this moment to speak for all the oppressed people, for blacks, for Latino, for trans people, for the people of Gaza. We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear and I hope that we will stand together, my brothers and my sisters against hate and we make us against.”
Elsewhere, celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato, John Leguizamo and even more spoke on social networks.
“What is happening in Los Angeles and across the country is heartbreaking.” Lovato wrote. “Immigrants are an essential element of our community and the fabric of our country. Although I feel helpless, I am with those who live in fear and I hope that these resources can help in one way or another. Let us continue to introduce each other and support our neighbors. ”
Eva Longoria described the “inhuman” and “non -American” raids in a video published on her Instagram.
“We can all agree, no one wants criminals in our country, no one wants rapists, no one wants drug traffickers, nobody wants bad players in our country – this is not what is happening,” said Longoria. “These roundups occur in the birthday parties, in the diplomas of primary schools, Home Depot. They are not criminals. I hope everyone has more compassion for this problem and realizes that we have industries that depend on the work of immigrants. “
Kardashian has published reflections similar to his Instagram stories.
“When we are told that ice exists to ensure the safety of our country and withdraw violent-large criminals,” she said. “But when we witness innocent and workers who are torn from their family in a inhuman way, we have to speak. We have to do what is good. “
She added: “Growing up in Los Angeles, I saw how deeply the immigrants are woven in the fabric of this city. They are our neighbors, friends, classmates, colleagues and family. No matter where you fall politically, it is clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We cannot turn our eyes when fear and injustice prevent people from living. has a better way.
Leguizamo published a video encouraging the demonstrators to stay there while the raids lean.
“Your protests are magnificent,” said the actor. “The protest is as American as the apple pie. But Trump wants to create a situation. He wants to be able to appeal to the insurrection law. He wants to create a martial law so that he can take up each government in each city and each state, so do not give it this,” the actor pleaded for his supporters. “Do not give him what he wants. I mean, he tramples all our democratic values of regular procedure, listening to the courts and the judiciary. Stay calm, stay peaceful. Do not let him give him what he wants.”
The raids started at the end of last week and sparked protests over the weekend. President Trump mobilized 2,000 members of the National Guard to repress the rallies – without consulting Governor Gavin Newsom – then added an additional 700 marine to mix on Monday. The protest reached the point that the mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass placed a city covers in the city center from Tuesday evening.
