As public opposition grows to President Donald Trump’s surge of ICE raids, more and more celebrities are feeling emboldened to speak out against the arbitrary detention and deportation of immigrants. On Tuesday (June 17), Bad Bunny filmed what appeared to be an ICE raid in Puerto Rico, uploading the video to his Instagram story with the caption “ice,” as Variety points out.

“Se tiraron aquí en la Pontezuela. Hijos de ___… En vez de dejar a esa gente tranquila trabajando ahí.”

“Look, those motherfuckers are in these cars, RAV-4s,” Bad Bunny says as he zooms in on the license plate of an unmarked vehicle before panning towards the officers. “They’re here in Pontezuela. Sons of bitches, instead of leaving those people working there in peace.”
According to The New York Times, federal investigators estimate that Puerto Rico is home to 20,000 unauthorized immigrants. Over 500 people have been arrested there in the past five months, most of them from the Dominican Republic.
Bad Bunny’s video comes as widespread protests against President Trump’s immigration policies continue to spread. His decision to send 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles in the midst of anti-ICE protests was condemned by both Governor Gavin Newsom, who called Trump’s response “acts of a dictator, not a President,” and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who announced that the state would sue the Trump administration.
Earlier this month, Finneas shared his experience being tear-gassed at a Los Angeles anti-ICE protest; on Saturday, Olivia Rodrigo took to her Instagram story to show solidarity with protesters, writing that “LA simply wouldn’t exist without immigrants.” Kehlani, Billie Joe Armstrong, Reneé Rapp, and Tyler, The Creator are also among other artists who have used their platform to take a stance against the raids.
