Kim Kardashian is challenging Donald Trump’s controversial immigration policy, arguing that the U.S.A. is expelling individuals who have worked hard to build the country.

KK was asked Thursday about the ongoing ICE raids by a journalist, just before receiving an award in Venice, Italy for her work in criminal justice reform.

She states, “In the news you hear, ‘Oh, it’s about people who have committed these crimes and they’re trying to help out our country.’ But then you hear about all of the people who have worked so hard to build our country, and so many people that are such a part of our country getting affected. People I know. People my friends know.”

Kim continues … “You want to believe that there’s a powerful message in protection, but then you see that it’s not really happening like that. It’s really tough, but I think that we have to do what we can to protect the people that have really supported and built our country.”

As you know … Kim Kardashian has a history of collaborating with Donald Trump on criminal justice reform — helping secure the commutation for former federal prisoner Alice Marie Johnson and advocating for pardons in other cases.

Kim expressed her desire to return to the White House to continue her prison reform advocacy and “fight for the rights of people I believe in,” regardless of who is in charge.

Could Kim have enough influence to persuade Trump to change his immigration policy? Only time will tell.
