Kim Kardashian was quickly rebuffed by Homeland Security when she offered an elementary take on illegal immigration while being honored in Venice on Thursday night at Diane von Furstenberg’s DVF Awards.
The woman who became fabulously wealthy by showcasing her large, surgically-altered derriere to the world took issue with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcing our laws, reminding followers that these people “worked so hard to build our country.”
“In the news you hear, ‘Oh, it’s about people who have committed these crimes and they’re trying to help out our country.’ But then you hear about all of the people who have worked so hard to build our country, and so many people that are such a part of our country getting affected,” she said. “People I know. People my friends know.”
Taking things a step further, the 44-year-old celebrity called on people to “protect” illegal immigrants.
“You want to believe that there’s a powerful message in protection, but then you see that it’s not really happening like that,” Kardashian said. “It’s really tough, but I think that we have to do what we can to protect the people that have really supported and built our country.”

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin was quick to fire back at Kardashian over her “misinformed” view on events.
“Ms. Kardashian is misinformed and detached from the very reality of the operations in Los Angeles she has decided to opine on,” she told TMZ. “These are the violent criminals who Homeland Security, under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, have removed from Los Angeles’s streets: murderers, rapists, gang members and child pedophiles.”
McLaughlin then asked, “Why does Ms. Kardashian continue to do the bidding of criminals at the expense of innocent Americans and brave law enforcement?”
While Democrats run interference for criminal aliens, and the liberal media fails to be honest about their criminal backgrounds, DHS has made it a habit to share with the American people the truth about those being deported, as seen here:

Social media users were quick to share their take on Kardashian’s opinion — here’s a quick sampling from X, see if you can pick up on a trend:
Kim is safe in her Mansion with high walls and armed security, we are not. We want a secure borders and illegals deported.

Easy words for celebrities who live in a completely different reality—protected by 24/7 security, surrounded by guards, and tucked away in gated mansions

Oh listen, a talentless rich person famous for being famous is talking… she must have the realest take of all…
Wasn’t she married to Kanye West?

Did the silicone go up to this aging hoe’s brain, or did she simply lose her slave labor rate nanny, gardener, and housekeeper?

And @KimKardashian is an elite rich multi millionaire who lives in an ivory tower with gates and 24/7 security so has absolutely NO CLUE how illegal immigration has impacted regular working people. So she can STFU. Happy to send the crackheads at my front door to her.

I don’t care about the opinion of anyone that lives behind a gate far removed from the problem
