While most winners at the BET Awards Monday night avoided the topic of 
politics, rapper and singer Doechii, real name Jaylah Hickmon, criticized 
President Trump for making moves to restore order following violent anti-ICE 
riots in Los Angeles.

“As much as I am honored by this award, I do want to address what’s happening 
right now outside of the building,” the 26-year-old Florida native said 
during her acceptance speech. “There are ruthless attacks that are creating 
fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order. Trump is 
using military forces to stop a protest.”

“I want y’all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every 
time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed 
against us. What type of government is that?” Hickmon continued.

“People are being swept up and torn from their families,” she said. “I feel 
it’s my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all 
oppressed people, for black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for 
the people in Gaza.”

“We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear,” Hickmon concluded as 
several audience members gave her a standing ovation. “And I hope we stand 
together, my brothers and my sisters, against hate, and we protest against 
it.”

On Monday night, President Trump mobilized an additional 2,000 National Guard 
troops to Los Angeles to join the 2,000 Guardsmen deployed by the Trump 
administration over the weekend, along with 700 Marines that were sent on 
Monday, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

The protesters, including many waving Mexican flags, have also blocked 
traffic on roads and highways.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had directed his administration to take 
all necessary steps to end the “Migrant riots” and continue the deportations 
of illegal immigrants.

“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by 
Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming 
and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — 
But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” Trump posted on Truth 
Social.

“I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of 
Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with 
all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action 
necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end 
to these Migrant riots,” Trump added. “Order will be restored, the Illegals 
will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your 
attention to this matter!”
