Kim Kardashian Shows Support For Immigrants After Facing Backlash Over Silence On ICE Raids & Protests In LA: ‘There Has To Be A Better Way’

Kim Kardashian is speaking out in support of immigrants in America after facing criticism for staying silent on the tense ICE situation unfolding in Los Angeles.

The billionaire SKIMS founder shared a post Tuesday evening (June 10), expressing concern over the controversial ICE raids happening in LA and across the country. She wrote:

“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.”

Kim added, “We can’t turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely,” noting “there has to be a better way” forward.

Her post comes as ICE concerns have escalated in recent days, with protesters flooding the streets of LA in a days-long stand against mass deportation. Tensions rose further after President Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops and 700 Marines to suppress the protests, without the California governor’s permission.
