Mexican singer Thalia became the center of a controversy on social networks after avoiding pronouncing herself on immigration raids in the United States, especially in Los Angeles, where arrests of undocumented immigrants have intensified under the administration of President Donald Trump.
The video of the moment is going viral on social networks and the Mexican singer has been harshly criticized provoking indignation and disappointment for the way she refused to answer.
The moment when Thalía is asked the question
In a video that resurfaced on digital platforms, the artist is seen being approached by a reporter who asks her: “Thalia, what do you say to all the Mexicans who are going through a difficult time with migration?”.
The singer chose not to respond and left the place, which generated a wave of criticism on social networks.
Users accused her of indifference and of turning her back on the migrant community, comparing her silence to an alleged estrangement from her own family.
Comments such as “He turns his back on them like his family” multiplied on platforms such as Twitter and Instagram.
Late reaction and message of support
In the face of mounting media pressure and public criticism, Thalia broke her silence on June 13, 2025.
Through his Instagram account, he shared a message addressed to the migrant community:
“In these times of so much uncertainty and pain, I want to send all my love, light and strength to every family that is facing hardship because of their immigration situation. No one should have to go through this; it is a direct blow to human dignity.”
In addition, the singer shared information about organizations that provide support to migrants in the United States, seeking to offer useful resources to those facing these difficult circumstances.
Comparisons with other public figures
Thalia’s initial stance contrasted with that of other Mexican celebrities who quickly expressed their solidarity with the migrants.
Celebrities such as Salma Hayek, Eugenio Derbez, Pepe Aguilar and Kate del Castillo used their platforms to condemn the raids and show their support for the affected communities.
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly recognized Salma Hayek’s work in defense of migrants, highlighting the importance of public figures using their influence to support social causes.
Thalía no es la única artista que ha sido criticada por no exponer su punto de vista ante delicado tema siendo una latina viviendo en EEUU, pues también se ha tachado de lo mismo a Ricky Martin, Selena Gómez e incluso Bad Bunny
Context of immigration raids
Buzzy
Immigration raids in the United States have generated concern both domestically and internationally.
In cities such as Los Angeles, mass arrests have been reported, affecting numerous Latino families.
Human rights organizations have denounced violations of due process and inhumane conditions in detention centers.
The Trump administration has stepped up immigration policies, including the implementation of the Laken Riley Act, which imposes mandatory detention of undocumented immigrants charged with certain serious crimes.
The controversy surrounding Thalia highlights the public’s expectation that influential figures speak out on relevant social issues.
While his message of support came in the wake of criticism, his delayed reaction was perceived by many as a lack of empathy for a community that represents a significant portion of his audience.
This episode highlights the importance of celebrity social responsibility and the impact of their words and actions in times of crisis.
Here is the video in which Thalia refuses to answer the uncomfortable question.
