Los Angeles and the country at large have been in a heightened state of panic ever since President Donald Trump deployed ICE and military troops on the West Coast to raid the community and arrest immigrants. Kim Kardashian recently spoke out in defense of immigrants and their well-being.
“When we’re told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals-great,” she wrote on her Instagram story on Tuesday evening (June 10). “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.”
The 44-year-old entrepreneur reflected on her experiences growing up in Los Angeles and how people who move there from elsewhere are so vital to the community. “They are our neighbors, friends, classmates, coworkers, and family,” she added. “No matter when you fall politically, it’s clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can’t just turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely. There HAS to be a BETTER way.” Read the full note below.

Kim Kardashian followed her post with a post of Doechii’s speech at the 2025 BET Awards. Though she was there to celebrate winning the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist award, she couldn’t help but extend her love and support to those being taken away from their families.
“There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order,” the TDE artist said during her acceptance speech. “Trump is using military forces to stop a protest, and I want y’all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our Democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?”
She also stressed the importance of unity and the right to free speech for all races. “For Black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for the people in Gaza…We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear,” she said. “I hope we stand together, my brothers and my sisters, against hate, and we protest against it.” Watch below.
