In response to the recent immigration raids in Southern California and the Central Coast, which have resulted in the arrest of 330 individuals, a number of Latinx musicians have taken to social media to express their solidarity with immigrant communities.
Their emotional messages and calls for unity resonate strongly with those affected by the raids as they urge empathy and action in support of vulnerable populations.
Chiquis, a two-time Grammy-nominated singer and TV personality, shared a heartfelt video on Instagram on Saturday, where she fought back tears while discussing the raids.
In her segment, she emphasized the importance of treating others with kindness and humanity, declaring, “United we stand, divided we fall apart, you guys.”
In a motivational tone, she insisted that if people come together to uplift one another, they can become a powerful force for good.
Ivan Cornejo, a rising artist in Música Mexicana, also voiced his concerns in an Instagram post.
He reflected on his father’s experience, who was granted amnesty by the Reagan administration during the ’80s, and expressed his sorrow for those in his community facing hardship.
Cornejo, a native of Riverside, stated, “Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel for my community.”
He continued, “I see my mom, my dad, and myself in many of you. I am speechless at the inhumanity that is affecting our Mexican and Hispanic communities.”
Pop star Becky G echoed these sentiments in her post on Tuesday.
She strongly condemned the terminology used to describe immigrants, noting, “The people being attacked today are not ‘illegal aliens,’ they are human beings with RIGHTS.”
Becky G urged her followers to recognize that an attack on immigrants is an attack on democracy and the foundational values of the nation.
In addition to voicing support, she shared valuable resources for those faced with immigration issues and highlighted several advocacy organizations that deserve attention.
The Indiana-based band Los Aptos, known for their música Mexicana style, also joined the conversation.
They shared an interview segment with podcaster Pepe Garza that explored their origins while calling for systemic changes that ensure protection for immigrant rights, regardless of the political administration in power.
Along with this, Los Aptos provided crucial information on how individuals can respond if confronted by immigration agents.
Fuerza Regida, one of the streaming giants in Latin music, expressed their unwavering support for the Latinx community in their post on Tuesday.
The band remarked, “We’ve been deeply moved by the events of this past week. These are our people, our fans, the very communities that inspire our music.”
Fher Olvera, lead singer of the iconic rock en español band Maná, shared a video expressing solidarity with the immigrant community in Los Angeles and encouraged peaceful protests.
He asserted, “That’s how you are going to win,” firmly supporting non-violent strategies for advocating change.
Additionally, the eight-time platinum artist Junior H entered the conversation on Wednesday by promoting a powerful image with the caption, “No one is illegal in stolen land.”
He highlighted that his fashion brand, Sad Boyz Clothing, would be donating a portion of its sales to help cover legal fees for families affected by ICE raids, stating, “It’s a small gesture, but one we believe matters—because when one of us hurts, we all do.”
Finally, Grupo Frontera, typically known for keeping a low profile, shared their support on Instagram, conveying strength and resilience to the migrant community.
Their message was clear: “As immigrants, we understand the pain, uncertainty, and fear that many are experiencing. We support you, and we will never stop fighting for our community.”
The combined vocal support from these Latinx musicians reflects a deep commitment to stand against the injustices faced by immigrant communities and the urgent need for solidarity in challenging times.
