Bad Bunny Rages Against ICE: 'Foul-Mouthed' Outcry in Puerto Rico
Latin Music Superstar Bad Bunny Blows Top Over ICE Arrests in Puerto Rico - And He's Not Alone!
In a scathing video posted to his Instagram story, Latin music sensation Bad Bunny unleashed a torrent of profanity-laced outrage over an ICE arrest in Puerto Rico. But he's not the only one speaking out against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown!
The "Mi Gente" hitmaker, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, simply captioned his video with a single word: "ICE." And then, he let loose on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detaining individuals on the street in Carolina.
"Look, those motherf*s are in these cars, RAV-4s," Bad Bunny growls, his voice dripping with disdain. "They're here in Pontezuela. Sons of bitches, instead of leaving the people alone and working there."
But he's not alone in his outrage. Fellow Latin music stars Becky G, Junior H, Grupo Frontera, and Maná have all weighed in on social media, using their platforms to show solidarity with immigrant communities.
Becky G, known for her chart-topping hits like "Shake" and "Maya," took to Instagram to pay tribute to her immigrant grandparents. "The people being attacked today are not 'illegal aliens,' they are human beings with RIGHTS," she wrote. "We must understand that an attack on them is an attack on OUR DEMOCRACY and an attack on what this country was made to stand for."
Meanwhile, actress Eva Longoria has called the raids "inhumane" and "hard to watch." "The comments, and people's reactions to it, are surprising to me because it is un-American," she said. "Nobody wants criminals in our country. Nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country. That's not what's happening."
These celebrities join a growing chorus of voices condemning the mass deportations carried out under the Trump administration. Even reality TV star Kim Kardashian has spoken out on social media, urging her followers to "do what's right." And actress Jenna Ortega is calling for people to "be angry" about ICE operations.
But it's not just celebrities speaking out - politicians are also weighing in on the issue. California Governor Gavin Newsom recently sued the Trump administration over the use of a National Guard unit in Los Angeles, arguing that it violated the Constitution and exceeded the president's legal authority.
And then there's Finneas, the singer-songwriter and brother of Billie Eilish. He claims he was tear-gassed during a peaceful protest in Los Angeles earlier this month. "FK ICE... If you are into this fascist st you are small and weak and will lose," he posted on social media.
As the political tensions surrounding the raids continue to escalate, it's clear that the debate is far from over. But one thing is certain - Latin music superstar Bad Bunny has added his voice to the chorus of outrage, and he's not going anywhere!
