Ice Cube has hit out at Donald Trump’s immigration raids across Los Angeles.
The rap legend stopped by local radio station 92.3’s The Cruz Show where he was asked about ICE’s crackdown on immigration across the city.
He said: “It hurts because it’s all kind of different situations been going around, as far as immigration.”
Cube added: “But to see people disrespected like that, and federal government just being too heavy-handed and disrespectful going to churches and weddings and grabbing people out those schools. It’s like come on man, y’all just overdoing it.”
The rapper and actor also said: “And then the country flip flops. First it’s cool, then it’s not … It’s like, how could somebody even keep up with what’s going on? It’s sad. I can’t wait til this period is over. I don’t know how we going to get to the end but … It’s crazy to see people dragged out of their spots of refuge.”
Earlier this year, Doechii used her speech at the BET Awards to call out Trump’s aggressive action against immigrant communities across America.
She said: “There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order.”
The “Anxiety” rapper continued: “Trump is using military forces to stop a protest. I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?”
She added: “People are being swept up and torn from their families. I feel like it’s my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people … We all deserve to live in hope and not fear. I hope we stand together.”
The Game also publicly came out in support of Los Angeles’ significant immigrant population.
He said: “Ever since I could remember… it’s been black & brown in this city. From the early days of my childhood til now, we’ve been side by side through it all. All of us. All the time. Not always seeing eye to eye but we’ve shared Los Angeles for a very long time.”
