‘Painful To See’ Shakira Criticises Donald Trump For Cruel Immigration Policies In US, Encourages People To Raise Their Voice

Grammy-winning singer Shakira has criticised Donald Trump’s immigration policies in the US. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said the current situation for immigrants is painful and frightening.

Born in Colombia, Shakira moved to Miami as a teen to follow her music dreams. She knows the immigrant struggle. She said, “It means living in constant fear. And it’s painful to see.”

Shakira Urges People To ‘Raise Their Voice’ Against Injustice

The 48-year-old pop star is encouraging people to take a stand. She said, “Now, more than ever, we have to remain united. Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of all people must always be humane.”

Shakira’s comments come as protests break out in Los Angeles and beyond over ICE raids. Stars like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Anna Kendrick, and Kerry Washington are standing in support of immigrants. In response, Trump deployed the California National Guard to control protests. California Governor Gavin Newsom opposed the move and requested the troops be withdrawn.

Shakira has always supported immigrant communities. Earlier this year, she dedicated her Grammy win to “all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country,” saying, “You are loved, you are worth it, and I will always fight with you.”

How Donald Trump Has Created Chaos With His Immigrant Policies

Donald Trump’s immigration policies have been very strict. His government brought back mass deportation plans. ICE raids increased, especially in big cities run by Democrats. Many immigrants now live in fear.

Asylum seekers were sent to harsh detention centres like Guantánamo Bay. Families were separated at the border, which led to global criticism. Human rights groups said these actions were cruel and unfair.

Protests broke out in many cities. The government sent troops and set curfews, which made tensions worse. Legal groups and some states filed cases against these actions.

Many say Trump’s rules create fear, not reform. His focus is on strict control, not humane treatment. Even now, he supports a tough stance and may go further if re-elected. His immigration views have sparked big debates on rights and safety in the US.
