"There has to be a BETTER way," says Kim Kardashian against ICE Raids; Donald Trump's administration responds
Kim Kardashian, the American socialite, voiced out her concerns regarding the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles, USA. The raids against immigrant communities have caused widespread protests in response to President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marine Troops.
What did Kim Kardashian say?
In an Instagram story posted by the 44-year-old reality star, she called the raids 'inhumane,' stating that the immigrant communities have contributed to the fabric of the city. Requesting justice for the communities, Kardashian, who has been an ally of Trump, urged to find a better way.
'When we're told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals — great. But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up.
We have to do what's right,' Kim expressed her disappointment.
'Growing up in LA, I've seen how deeply immigrants are woven into the fabric of this city. They are our neighbours, friends, classmates, co-workers, and family. No matter where you fall politically, it's clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can't turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely.

'Those who spoke bravely are all dead': Donald Trump says he gave Iran 60-day ultimatum; warns 'it will only get worse' as Israel holds lethal US weapons
A major flashpoint in the Middle East erupted into open military confrontation overnight, with Israel launching its most expansive airstrikes on Iran in decades, targeting the country's military command and nuclear infrastructure. In a dramatic twist, US President Donald Trump claimed credit for setting the stage, citing a 60-day ultimatum he says he gave Iran, even as his own officials denied direct American involvement in the operation. 'Today is Day 61': Trump ties himself to Israeli strikes Despite earlier statements by senior Trump administration figures, including secretary of state Marco Rubio , distancing the US from the Israeli attack, Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to suggest the strikes followed a countdown he had initiated. "Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to 'make a deal,'" Trump wrote. "Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!" In another lengthy post, Trump described warning Iran in "the strongest of words" and claimed Iranian commanders "didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!" He added, "There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left." Israel's Operation Rising Lion Early Friday, Israeli fighter jets and drones struck key Iranian military and nuclear facilities in what Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu dubbed "Operation Rising Lion." The strikes killed six top nuclear scientists and several senior military commanders. Israeli officials declared the operation a necessary pre-emptive strike to dismantle Iran's weapons capabilities. "This operation will continue for as many days as it takes," Netanyahu said in a video message, warning of further action against the Iranian regime. Iran retaliates Within hours, Iran responded with a heavy barrage of ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Explosions echoed across central Israel into early Saturday as missile defense systems were activated and civilians were urged to take shelter. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted military airbases and weapons production centers that were 'sources of the criminal aggression.' A senior Iranian official told CNN, 'Everyone will feel it,' referencing further possible retaliation and threats to strike regional bases of any nation that aids Israel. Trump walks a fine line While Trump openly praised the Israeli operation—calling it "excellent" in remarks to ABC News—he continued to insist the US played no active military role. "We gave them a chance, and they didn't take it. They got hit—very hard. And there's more to come. A lot more," he told to ABC News. Still, the mixed signals out of Washington have raised eyebrows. Just a day earlier, Trump had called for peaceful diplomatic resolution with Iran.

Air India crash: Death toll reaches 274 in Ahmedabad, efforts to clear debris ongoing
