Shakira’s recent words of solidarity with the immigrant community came as other major Latin American music acts used their platforms to condemn the ICE raids and align their sympathies with immigrants.

She’s not Latin American, she said, but she was waving the flag for a close friend who couldn’t go to the protests.

It's a powerful statement – spoken partially in Spanish as Shakira addresses her Latin American fans directly.
