US EditionBad Bunny Posts Video Slamming ICE Raids in Puerto Rico
PUERTO RICO, JUN 18 – Bad Bunny condemned ICE raids detaining nearly 500 immigrants in Puerto Rico since January, with 72% being Dominican nationals, highlighting concerns over targeting undocumented communities.
- Bad Bunny posted a video on June 17 showing ICE agents conducting raids on Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina, Puerto Rico, calling the officers 'sons of bitches.'
- These raids intensified after President Trump returned to office in January, with ICE arresting nearly 500 immigrants in Puerto Rico within four months, mostly Dominican nationals.
- Special Agent Rebecca González-Ramos stated that ICE agents conducted unannounced operations at hotels and construction areas, stopped individuals in public spaces for questioning, and obtained information from DMV staff about immigrants who received driver's licenses under a policy supporting undocumented residents.
- Less than 80 of the 500 arrested had criminal records, and celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Olivia Rodrigo, and Katy Perry criticized the raids and expressed solidarity with immigrants.
- These events reflect ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement in Puerto Rico and the mainland, highlighting broader debates on ICE's role and immigrant rights under the Trump administration.
