The Game is standing in solidarity with Los Angeles protesters as immigration raids spark unrest across the city. On Monday, June 9th, the Compton rapper took to Instagram to show support for Black and brown communities who’ve flooded the streets in response to recent ICE crackdowns.
“Ever since I could remember… it’s been black & brown in this city,” The Game wrote, captioning a series of black-and-white photos from the protests. “From the early days of my childhood til now, we’ve been side by side through it all. All of us. All the time. Not always seeing eye to eye but we’ve shared Los Angeles for a very long time. I stand with y’all like I know you’d stand with us. ‘We might fight against each other… but I promise you this.. we’ll burn this b!%?! down get us pissed!!!!!’ To live & die in L.A.”
Fans quickly showed love in his comments, thanking him for speaking up. “Meanwhile Snoop Dogg entertaining the king… thanks for using your platform,” one person wrote. Another added, “You always speak about unity. My respect for you.”
Protests erupted after ICE agents launched sweeping immigration raids across L.A., including the controversial arrest of union leader David Huerta, who officials claim interfered with the operation. Thousands of demonstrators have since taken to the streets. Chaos followed—protesters set self-driving cars on fire, while officers responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash-bangs.
According to CBS News, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said 39 arrests were made over the weekend.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump escalated tensions by calling for military action. “Looking really bad in L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!” he wrote on Truth Social, prompting even more backlash as scenes of unrest continued to unfold across the city.
