‘Hollywood Reporter’ Stunned at the Grammy’s By Joy Villa’s Take on Trump’s Deportations [WATCH]

Singer Joy Villa made headlines at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night after voicing strong support for President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, particularly the deportation of illegal immigrants with criminal records.

Her remarks, made during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, came as she wore a red trucker hat inspired by Trump’s “Make America Great Again” cap.

“I don’t want to see them here,” Villa said, referring to illegal immigrants with histories of violent crimes and theft.

Villa, known for her outspoken conservative views, reiterated her stance on immigration enforcement and expressed her support for Trump’s presidency.

“The hat stays on. They tried to kill Trump. He’s still alive, thank God,” she said.

“Because they tried to get rid of Trump, and now he’s still here, this hat’s not going anywhere. Like the red-hat army that we’ve seen. … There’s a lot of Latinos, a lot of Black Americans, a lot of artists who love Trump. So the hat stays on. We’re not going to get our hats knocked off, hit off or threatened to take it off.”

Villa also emphasized her belief that deportation efforts should focus on individuals involved in serious criminal activities.

“I think that the ones that are being deported should be deported. I’m a Latina. My family came to this country legally. I love to see rapists, human traffickers deported. I don’t want to see them here. I want us to be free, for all colors, for all people. That’s what makes America great again. So we can create, so we can live. As an artist, as a musician, I want to be able to walk at night and not think that I’m going to get killed by an illegal alien. So those are the people getting deported, those are the people that should get deported.”

Villa has a history of making political statements at the Grammys. During Trump’s first term, she wore a dress with the phrase “Make America Great Again” written on it, drawing significant media attention.

Villa’s remarks come amid ongoing protests against Trump’s immigration policies. In Texas, a group of Latino demonstrators gathered to protest mass deportations, with participants from Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador among those in attendance.

According to Fortune, protesters marched to Hermann Park in Houston while chanting slogans such as “We are not leaving” and “Long live the migrants.”

“I’m here to be a voice for the voiceless, for people that are scared right now,” said Alexandria Pike, 34, one of the demonstrators.

She shared her family’s immigration story, saying her grandmother came to the U.S. illegally while pregnant with her mother in hopes of securing a better future.

“I want Donald Trump to stop mass deportations now, leave children alone, stay out of school, stay out of places of worship, and all these spaces, and just leave the people alone,” Pike added.

As immigration enforcement efforts continue across the country, the debate over border security and deportations remains a divisive issue.

Villa’s comments at the Grammys reflect the ongoing national conversation about immigration policy and law enforcement under Trump’s administration.
