Shakira has postponed his concert at the Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, scheduled for June 20, in response to the growing migratory raids that the city is suffering following the latest Donald Trump’s policies. The show has been moved to August 4, while the artist has shown her support for the immigrant population in a new interview with the BBC.
The Colombian artist has affirmed that Trump’s immigration policy “means living with constant fear”: “It is painful to see,” he says. The manifestations under the motto of “no Kings” are increasingly common and, in this context, Shakira sends a message of union: “Now, more than ever, we have to stay united.”
This also compares what is happening with its early years in the country, ensuring that “like many other Colombian immigrants, I came looking for a better future.” “We have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of people must always be human,” said the artist.
