Katy Perry Supports Migrants Amid ICE Raids: ‘Deep Injustice’

“How can a city built on Mexican labor, Mexican history, and Mexican culture turn around and criminalize the very people who shaped it?” the pop star reposted on Instagram

Katy Perry is voicing her support for migrants. On Tuesday night, the pop star highlighted Los Angeles’ Mexican roots with reposts via her Instagram stories. One described the ICE raids on immigrants as a “huge injustice” on the communities who’ve lived there for generations.

“This was once Mexican land, and the people being targeted today are often descendants of those who have lived here for generations — or who came seeking safety, work, and dignity,” read one of the posts shared by Perry.

In another, Perry’s repost highlighted how L.A. has “seen borders shift” and how “the people [here] — especially the brown and Indigenous people — have always been there, planting roots, building lives, raising families,” the post read. “And now in 2025, the descendants of those same communities are being hunted like criminals in their own ancestral home.”

“It’s more than infuriating — it’s a deep injustice,” the post continued. “How can a city built on Mexican labor, Mexican history, and Mexican culture turn around and criminalize the very people who shaped it?”

Perry joins a long list of celebrities standing by immigrants, and who are speaking out against President Donald Trump’s ICE raids and deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Ivan Cornejo, and Finneas, are among the artists speaking out against the president’s deployment and ICE raids.

Protests have been taking place across the country over the last several days in opposition of the tactics the federal government has implemented to target immigrant communities. ICE agents have appeared to ignore due process, arresting migrants at immigration hearings; arrested a mother who was holding her baby; and are carrying out round-ups at workplaces and construction sites.
