Katy Perry speaks out against immigration raids in Los Angeles
The renowned singer Katy Perry used her platform on Instagram to express her rejection of the immigration raids carried out by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) in Los Angeles. Through a series of stories, the artist described these actions as unjust and highlighted the essential contribution of Mexican migrants to the American economy and society.
A message loaded with historical context
Perry not only limited himself to criticizing current policies, but also framed his position in a historical context. He recalled that Los Angeles was founded as “The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of Porciúncula” by Mexican settlers, and highlighted how the city has witnessed geopolitical changes under the governments of Spain, Mexico and the United States. “People have always been here, building communities,” he said.
The interpreter of hits like “Firework” emphasized that migrants uphold fundamental pillars of the country: “They work, pay taxes, raise families and enrich the culture”. This speech resonated with his followers, who applauded his bravery in addressing a controversial topic amid the current political climate.
The support of the entertainment world for the migrant cause
Perry is not alone in this fight. Figures such as Diego Boneta, Eva Longoria, Eugenio Derbez and Pedro Pascal have raised their voices against mass deportations. The protests in Los Angeles, organized by pro-immigrant groups, demand the cessation of ICE operations, which have separated families and generated a climate of fear in Latino communities.
Human rights experts point out that these raids violate basic principles of dignity and due process. Organizations such as ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) have filed lawsuits to stop arbitrary detentions, arguing that criminalization of migrants undermines democratic values.
Perry’s message comes at a critical moment, where the immigration debate is at the center of the political agenda. His intervention, backed by historical and economic data, adds weight to the demands for legislative reforms that protect the undocumented.
