MAGA boxer Ryan Garcia slammed Donald Trump over his administration’s aggressive immigration raids in Los Angeles.
He even once wrote on social media, “Love you Trump,” and fiercely defended him in other posts.
But on Thursday, Garcia ripped Trump in response to his controversial immigration crackdown that has sparked protests in L.A. and to which Trump has deployed the National Guard, a move that has been slammed as a major, unneeded and divisive escalation by critics.
“I may have voted for Trump, but I can’t stay silent about what’s happening with ICE in L.A.,” Garcia wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“These aren’t just ‘illegals’ or statistics they’re people,” pointed out the Victorville-born and raised pugilist, whose grandparents were born in Mexico and who often enters the ring with both the American and Mexican flags.
“Hardworking immigrants, especially Mexicans, who pay taxes, raise families, build our communities, and are part of the people we love,” Garcia continued. “Ripping them away from their homes is not just policy it’s pain. We can have borders without losing our humanity.”
