‘There has to be a better way’: Kim Kardashian hits out at ‘inhumane’ ICE raids
- Kim Kardashian has spoken out against ICE raids in Los Angeles, which have sparked protests across the country.
- The protests began after President Trump ordered mass deportations of illegal immigrants and deployed National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles without California Governor Gavin Newsom’s permission.
- Gov. Newsom has challenged Trump's decision in court, stating that it “inflamed a combustible situation”.
- Kardashian, with 356 million Instagram followers, voiced her support for the immigrant population, emphasizing their contributions to the city while describing the raids as “inhumane” and saying “there has to be a better way” of addressing illegal immigration.
- Kardashian has praised Trump in the past for commuting Alice Johnson's sentence in 2018, after Johnson served over 20 years for a non-violent drug offense.
