ICE Raids Detain 4,600 in Los Angeles Amid Violent Protests

Kim Kardashian and other celebrities have publicly condemned the aggressive ICE raids in Los Angeles, criticizing the Trump administration's tactics and the resulting militarized response. Kardashian highlighted the inhumane treatment of innocent immigrants, emphasizing their integral role in the city's fabric and calling for a better approach. The raids, which began in early June 2025, led to the detention of thousands and sparked widespread protests that escalated into violent clashes, looting, and vandalism, including attacks on businesses like the Apple Store. The Trump administration responded by deploying thousands of National Guard troops and Marines, a move criticized as authoritarian by local leaders and activists. Celebrities such as Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas, Tyler, the Creator, and Eva Longoria have voiced solidarity with protesters and condemned the use of force. Additionally, Salvadorian-American lash artist Yris Palmer criticized the raids for targeting hardworking immigrants rather than criminals, underscoring the racial implications and human costs of the enforcement actions.
