Shakira Says Being an Immigrant in the U.S. Amid Trump's Policies 'Means Living in Constant Fear'
Shakira is speaking out about the 'constant fear' that immigrants face in the United States today amid President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies. The Colombian-born singer, 48, recently spoke with BBC News about how the U.S. has changed since she moved to Miami as a teenager to expand her music career. More from The Hollywood Reporter What to Know About President Trump's Military Parade for U.S. Army's 250th Anniversary Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Canceled Due to Weather K-pop Stars Enhypen on 'Desire : Unleash,' Coachella Debut and What to Expect on Their U.S. Tour 'I was only 19 when I moved to the US, like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future,' she said, adding that she relied on poetry and written works from Leonard Cohen, Walt Whitman and Bob Dylan to learn English and help 'understand how the English language works within songwriting.' Shakira has risen to international fame over the years, scoring multiple Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as her song 'Hips Don't Lie' peaking at No. 1. She has also earned four Grammy Awards, including best Latin pop album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran at the 2025 Grammys earlier this year. However, this year has also been notably challenging for the Latin community amid Trump's return to the White House, as his administration prioritizes cracking down on alleged immigration violations. Most recently, there have been ongoing protests in Los Angeles against unlawful immigration ICE raids across the county. 'It means living in constant fear,' Shakira said of living in the U.S. today. 'And it's painful to see.' 'Now, more than ever, we have to remain united,' she added. '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.' Earlier this year, Shakira also dedicated her Grammy Award 'to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country,' adding, 'You are loved, you are worth it, and I will always fight with you.' In response to the L.A. protests, Trump deployed California's National Guard to quell the demonstrations. However, California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed back, formally requesting that the Trump Administration 'rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles County and return them to my command.' The case is currently making its way through the courts, with the appeals court temporarily blocking a federal judge's order that directed Trump to return control of National Guard troops back to the state. The appeals court said it would hold a hearing on Tuesday.

Shakira laments 'constant fear' faced by immigrants: 'It's painful to see'
Shakira laments 'constant fear' faced by immigrants: 'It's painful to see' Show Caption Hide Caption Shakira cancels Boston concert hours before showtime Hours before doors opened, ticket seller Live Nation announced that the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn concert had been cancelled. Cover Media Shakira has conquered the world with her music, but she hasn't forgotten her raíces. The Colombian pop star, 48, reflected on her immigrant background, as well as the impact of the current political climate on immigrant communities, in an interview with the BBC published June 12. The singer, who started her music career as a teenager in her native Colombia, moved to the United States in the late 1990s to raise her musical profile. "I was only 19 when I moved to the U.S., like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future," Shakira told the British outlet. "And I remember I was surrounded by Spanish-English dictionaries and synonym dictionaries — because back in the day, I didn't really have Google or ChatGPT to (help). So, it was all very precarious." The Grammy-winning songstress, known for her bilingual dance hits, also got candid on the tensions faced by many immigrants amid the Trump administration's sweeping deportation efforts, which have sparked nationwide protests. "It means living in constant fear. And it's painful to see," she said. Earlier this month, several demonstrations erupted across Los Angeles in response to a handful of immigration raids. The federal invasions, carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, took place in several parts of the city as part of a directive from President Donald Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. The White House previously set a goal of removing 1 million people annually, making good on Trump's campaign promise to conduct the largest deportation operation in history. Shakira interview: Singer talks tour, special guests and prioritizing her kids After small protests against the raids on June 6, Trump took several swift actions, including calling in the 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines, which drew ire — and at least one lawsuit — from state officials who accused the president of stoking tension and escalating unrest. "Now, more than ever, we have to remain united," Shakira continued. "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 vows to 'always fight' with 'my immigrant brothers and sisters' in Grammys speech This isn't the first time Shakira has shown her support for immigrant communities. While attending the 67th annual Grammy Awards in February, Shakira gave a heartfelt shout-out to her fellow immigrants while accepting the award for best Latin pop album. "I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country," she said. "You are loved, you are worth it, and I will always fight with you."

Maher applauds Trump parade, criticizes ‘tanks in the streets'
Comedian Bill Maher on Friday lauded President Trump's military parade for its patriotic spirit but criticized the public display of weaponry. 'Trump said, we're going to celebrate our country for a change. Like so many things with him, like he very often has an idea which in the ether is not a bad idea,' Maher said during a Friday episode of HBO's 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' as highlighted by Mediaite. During his panel with featured guests, political scientist Ian Bremmer and historian Rutger Bregman, Maher slammed the Democratic Party, which has largely criticized the parade, arguing they don't 'appreciate' the U.S. or its history. 'They have no perspective about it. They think we're irredeemably racist and horrible and colonialist, as if every other country in the world at one time or another wasn't like us or even worse,' Maher said. However, he noted that Trump's show of nationalism could quickly turn militaristic. 'Should we appreciate America more, and in more perspective? Yes,' Maher said. 'But not tanks in the streets! This really worries me, I mean, I just feel like you're getting, I don't even know if that's his grand scheme, thought out that much, but you're getting people used to a sight that we have never seen in this country before,' he added, noting GOP Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and John Kennedy (La.), who spoke out about the spectacle. Saturday's parade comes as protesters gather across the country against Trump and his agenda, particularly his crackdown on immigration. Ahead of the June 14 festivities, the president warned demonstrators not to disrupt the Army celebration in Washington. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
