The Game has confirmed he stands with Los Angeles’ extensive Mexican community amid an immigration crackdown and mass protests across the city.
President Donald Trump has sent over 4000 members of the National Guard to the city in attempt to quell widespread protests against the conduct of ICE agents in conducting raids on undocumented immigrants.
The move has so far led to an increased presence of protesters as much of Los Angeles stands with its vast immigrant communities while Trump has also moved to deploy active Marines to the city.
The Game has also come out vocally in support of immigrants as the protests continue.
He wrote on Instagram: “Ever since I could remember… it’s been black & brown in this city. 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.

Game added: “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.”
Doechii also called out Trump’s handling of the raids and protests while accepting her trophy for Favorite Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards.
She said: “There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order.”

The “Anxiety” rapper continued: “Trump is using military forces to stop a protest. I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?”
She added: “People are being swept up and torn from their families. I feel like it’s my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people … We all deserve to live in hope and not fear. I hope we stand together.”
Trump is yet to respond to either The Game or Doechii.
