Donald Trump’s admin responds to Kim Kardashian over ‘inhumane’ ICE raids criticism: ‘Which one would you like to keep’

Kim Kardashian calls out Donald Trump for ‘inhumane’ ICE raids

Kardashian, who’s never shied away from political debates, wrote on Instagram, “When we’re told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals — great. But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what’s right.” This isn’t the first time a celebrity has called out Trump’s immigration policies. From Selena Gomez to George Clooney, Nicki Minaj, and Kristen Bell, many have spoken up. But coming from Kardashian, who shares close ties with both Musk and Trump, the move caught many off guard.

Urging the administration to handle the crisis legally and without violence, she added, “No matter where you fall politically, it’s clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can’t turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely. There HAS to be a BETTER way.”

Trump administration fires back at Kim Kardashian

Responding to her post, Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for Homeland Security, shared pictures of convicts and asked which one of them she’d like to defend. Their crimes included homicide, child molestation, and drug trafficking. “@KimKardashian, which one of these convicted child molesters, murderers, drug traffickers and rapists would you like to stay in the country?” she wrote on X. “These are just a few of the convicted illegal criminals who have been picked up in the last 72 hours.”

When Donald Trump entered the White House for his first term, Kardashian briefly teamed up with his administration on criminal justice reform. Because of  her involvement, Alice Marie Johnson who was convicted in 1996 for a non-violent drug offense, was released. Meanwhile, DHS has been busy flaunting the arrest of “hundreds of illegal aliens.” But many California lawmakers, including Governor Gavin Newsom, slammed the move, calling it nothing more than a way to feed “the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial president.”
