HYBE Girl Group Member Gets Reported To ICE Amidst US Raids

An international netizen on X recently invited criticism when they allegedly attempted to deport KATSEYE‘s Lara. With the recent ICE crackdowns and raids going on in the US, they took the chance to submit a tip-off, claiming that she was an illegal alien.

The Trump administration is implementing a sweeping deportation initiative—described as the largest in U.S. history. with a goal of 3,000 daily arrests, focusing heavily on major Democratic-led cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. ICE raids have grown more aggressive, spreading to courthouses, restaurants, and homes—drawing criticism over masked agents, due-process concerns, and racial profiling, including incidents affecting U.S. citizens and Indigenous peoples.
The act of reporting Lara in such an untrue manner, given that she is in-fact a citizen of the U.S, is immoral and could pose issues for her and her work. Other fans have already begun to clamp down on the fan in question.
do you know how fucking sinister and mentally deranged you need to be to do something like that to lara

The incident sparked over a fanwar between ILLIT fans and KATSEYE fans.
That's why fanwars are so weird to me. Some of y'all are deranged and take ts too seriously… https://t.co/lO78QjeHJk
