Emiliano Aguilar, son of renowned Mexican singer Pepe Aguilar, announced the cancellation of a concert in Los Angeles as an act of solidarity with the migrant community.
The decision was made amid a tense atmosphere caused by recent raids conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in various cities across the United States.
The artist, who has built a music career in the rap genre, was scheduled to perform on Saturday, June 14 at Ibiza Night Club.
However, he published a statement on his social media explaining that he did not want to expose his audience to any kind of risk.

“The event scheduled for June 14 at Ibiza Night Club will be canceled,” Emiliano wrote on his official account.
“We understand what our people are going through and we don’t want to put any member of our community at risk. Stay strong, and long live Mexico, cabrones,” he added.

This gesture has been widely celebrated by his fans, who see it as a brave and empathetic act.
The Latino community in the United States is going through a difficult time due to ICE operations in areas with high Hispanic populations.
Latino Community on Alert Over Immigration Operations
Many migrants have chosen to avoid public spaces for fear of being detained or deported, even if they have legal protection.
Emiliano Aguilar thus joins a growing list of artists speaking out against these policies that, according to critics, criminalize entire communities.
Pepe Aguilar, his father, has also addressed the issue through a song that portrays the nostalgia, fear, and disconnection experienced by many migrants.
“You see my mother, and my father says he’s too old and doesn’t want to come, and I can’t go,” one verse says.

Pepe Aguilar Releases Protest Song
“I have many children, they’re grown and I don’t understand them anymore, they don’t speak Spanish. No one has felt fear like the one who’s seen an immigration van or a deportation,” the song continues.
The lyrics have been shared on social media and serve as a reflection of the feelings of thousands of people who have spent decades away from their homeland.
Becky G, another artist of Mexican descent, also expressed concern about the current situation for migrants in the country.
The singer shared family images and messages of support, calling for an end to the criminalization of undocumented individuals.

Becky G and Artists Support Migrants
“The people being attacked today are not ‘illegal aliens,’ they are human beings with RIGHTS,” said Becky G.
“We must understand that an attack on them is an attack on OUR DEMOCRACY and an attack on what this country was built to represent,” she concluded.
Her message was accompanied by legal resources and recommendations for those who might be affected by ICE operations.
These public expressions demonstrate that concern for the migrant community has extended beyond stages and digital platforms.

More and more entertainment figures are stepping up not just to raise their voices, but to take concrete action — as Emiliano Aguilar did by canceling his concert.
The gesture has been seen as a real sign of commitment to the causes that directly affect his followers.
Beyond music, Latino artists are using their influence to raise awareness and offer support in uncertain times.
While the raids continue to create fear in thousands of homes, acts like Emiliano’s seek to offer some protection and dignity to those living under constant threat, reported El Diario NY.
