Key data
Kardashian published a statement in his Instagram history on Tuesday night, where he has 356 million followers, stating that he has seen “how deeply immigrants are interwoven in the structure” of Los Angeles as a resident of a lifetime, and added that people “cannot turn a blind eye when fear and injustice prevent people from living their lives in a safe and free way”.
Actress Eva Longoria published a four -minute Tiktok video in which she qualifies the “Inhuman” ICE razing, criticizes the “lack of due process for immigrants respectful of the law and who pay taxes” and express their support for protesters.
The rapper Doechii became viral online for a speech at the Bet Awards on Monday criticizing President Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to quell protests in Los Angeles: “Trump is using military forces to stop a protest, and I want everyone to consider what type of government it seems to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the army unfolds against us,” he said.
Fintes, musician and brother of Billie Eilish, published on her Instagram that she was attacked with tear gas while attending a protest in Los Angeles, accusing the authorities of “inciting” violence.
Actor Mark Ruffalo, a frequent Trump critic, has spoken numerous times on Instagram, criticizing Trump as a “scammer” and criticizing immigration authorities as “racist” forces that “hide their faces for shame, fear or justice and trample their right to a fair trial.”
Other celebrities who have spoken online include actor Pedro Pascal, singer Kacey Musgraves, director Ava Duvernay and the Chrissy Teigen model.
Why are there protests in Los Angeles and other cities?
The protests against ICE exploded in Los Angeles this weekend and since then they have extended to cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and others, in response to the authorities who perform raids and stop immigrants. Trump has faced the leaders of California, including Governor Gavin Newsom and the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, for his decision to send National Guard troops and Marine Infants to quell the protests. His authority to send the troops has faced a certain rejection, although Trump, as reported, cited Title 10 of the United States Code about armed services in a memorandum, which gives the President the authority to deploy troops if the United States is “invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation”, or if there is a “rebellion or danger of rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States”. Newsom, in a televised speech on Tuesday, criticized Trump as “a president who does not want to be subject to any law or constitution, perpetuating a unified attack on US traditions.”
Surprising data
Khaby Lame, a content creator who is the most followed person in Tiktok, was arrested by immigration authorities in Las Vegas on Friday, confirmed the Department of National Security to Forbes. Lame, 25, was born in Senegal and grew up in Italy and is Italian citizen. The DHS gave Lame’s volunteer exit and decided to leave the country, the department told Forbes. Lame’s exact whereabouts is not clear, but until the early hours of Wednesday, he had published several Instagram stories from São Paulo, Brazil. Lame has more than 162 million followers in Tiktok and qualified as the tenth creator with the highest income in 2024, with more than $ 20 million in profits, according to Forbes estimates. Bo Loudon, a pro-trump influencer who is a friend of the president’s son, Barron, said in X that he denounced Lame before the authorities as an illegal immigrant.
Tangent
Kardashian, who in recent years has struggled to become a lawyer and completed a practices program in May in May, has met with the White House on numerous occasions in recent years to address the penitentiary reform, even with Trump during his first mandate. According to reports, Kardashian pressed Trump to grant the pardon to Alice Marie Johnson, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for a crime of non -violent drugs, in 2018, and pressed in favor of the law of the first step, whose objective was to reduce prison sentences, including the minimum mandatory penalties for condemnations for non -violent drugs. Kardashian met with former Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House last year, where she also met with ex -prisoners whose sentences were switched by former president Joe Biden.
