Kim Kardashian calls for accountability

In her post, Kardashian said she stands in solidarity with calls for accountability and compassionate immigration enforcement and specifically noted the impact on families and children facing separation, fear, trauma, and loss.

She wrote, “In response to the recent tragic deaths of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Silverio Villegas González and Keith Porter Jr. and other victims, I stand in solidarity with calls for accountability and compassionate immigration enforcement.”



Demonstrations against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement unfolded across the country today, including a student walkout in New York City as well as protests in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Texas, and elsewhere.

“I stand with the families and children nationwide who are facing separation, fear, trauma, and loss amid these actions,” she added.
