Narrator:

At a critical moment for immigrant communities in the United States, a growing number of Latino artists are raising their voices. The raids carried out in cities like Los Angeles, along with the strict immigration policies of the Trump administration, are not only shaking up the system — they are also profoundly impacting the world of Latin music. From Billboard chart-topping artists like Ivan Cornejo and Fuerza Regida to iconic figures in Latin music like Maná and Pepe Aguilar, voices of solidarity are growing louder.

“The people being attacked today are not ‘illegal aliens’; they are human beings with RIGHTS,” Becky G wrote on Instagram. Singer DannyLux also issued a call on social media: “Protests are a cry from a community tired of being ignored and criminalized simply for seeking a dignified life!” Many artists are not just speaking out. Mexican superstar Junior H launched merchandise whose profits will go entirely to CHIRLA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing legal support for immigrants facing ICE detention and deportation. Fher Olvera, lead singer of the Mexican rock band Maná and longtime advocate for immigrant rights, urged his followers to protest peacefully. “That’s how they’re going to win,” he said. Peso Pluma, alongside his manager George Prajin, has shared links to organizations defending immigrant rights like the National Immigration Law Center and United We Dream.
