Influencers Criticized for Silence on ICE Actions Amid Public Outcry
Influencers on social media are facing backlash for their silence regarding actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Many followers are urging these content creators to use their platforms to speak out against the reported violence and mistreatment by ICE, including the killing of American citizens, family separations, and the detention of individuals, including children. Despite the public demand, many influencers continue to post regular content without addressing these issues, often citing a desire to maintain a 'light' and 'apolitical' space. Therapists suggest that this silence can be perceived as agreement with the actions of ICE, leading to feelings of anger and disappointment among followers who expect influencers to align with their values and speak out during times of collective harm.
