Kim Kardashian is once again leveraging her global platform—not for fashion or film, but for freedom.

In a scathing social media video posted early Wednesday, the reality star and criminal justice reform advocate directly condemned former President Donald Trump and recent ICE raids that swept through Southern California, resulting in the detention of dozens of immigrant families.

Kardashian, who has spent the past several years studying law and advocating for clemency cases, didn’t hold back in her rebuke.

“You say you care about families, but you’re tearing them apart in front of their children.”

— Kim Kardashian

The video, which surpassed 14 million views within 10 hours, appears to respond to leaked footage showing late-night ICE operations in predominantly Latino neighborhoods just miles from her legal team’s headquarters. The raids, which reportedly lacked sufficient public notice or legal transparency, have ignited backlash from civil rights organizations across the state.

“This isn’t about law. This is about fear—and it’s disgusting.”

— Kim Kardashian

The former president, who has recently hinted at a 2028 political comeback, has defended the raids as part of a “renewed push to restore order.” But Kardashian argued that these tactics are inhumane and counterproductive, citing her ongoing legal work with families who’ve been left behind after deportations.

Sources close to Kardashian say this response was not spontaneous, but part of a coordinated legal and social campaign to demand oversight and reform of U.S. immigration enforcement practices. According to a senior advisor at SKKY Justice—the social impact division of her business empire—Kardashian has been quietly funding legal defense efforts for impacted families since 2023.

“If you have a platform and you’re not speaking up right now—what exactly are you protecting?”

— Kim Kardashian

This isn’t Kardashian’s first political flashpoint, but it may be one of her most personal. Advocates say her pivot from pop culture icon to credible legal voice has inspired a wave of younger influencers to rethink their silence.

Meanwhile, Trump’s team has not issued a direct response to Kardashian’s comments, but conservative media outlets have accused her of “media grandstanding” and “distracting from policy.” Regardless, the momentum appears to be with Kardashian—who has proven time and again that she’s playing the long game.
