Bad Bunny has shared a video that appears to show an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in Puerto Rico, and he made it clear he doesn’t want to see these officers anywhere near his community.
“Those motherfuckers are in these cars, RAV-4s,” he said in Spanish in the clip, which was shared via his Instagram Stories and can be seen below. “They’re here in [Avenida] Pontezuela. They came here … sons of bitches, instead of leaving people alone and working.”
The impact of the Trump administration’s push for more aggressive ICE arrests across the United States has received a lot of focus in Los Angeles, where several large-scale protests have taken place.
There has been a big ICE presence in Puerto Rico, too.
As reported by NPR, approximately 500 migrants from the Dominican Republic have been arrested in Puerto Rico since Trump returned to office in January. Only 80 of those 500 have a criminal record.
Bad Bunny joins a growing chorus of celebrities speaking out against the acts of ICE and the Trump administration. Comedian D.L. Hughley defended the protests in Los Angeles recently, as has Kim Kardashian, who said that Americans “can’t turn a blind eye” to the acts of ICE.
Other celebrities who have spoken up include Cardi B, The Game, and Finneas, who said he was tear-gassed during a protest and accused ICE of “inciting” violence.
