After thanking BET and shouting out her fellow nominees, Doechii delivered a spirited monologue about the current protests going on in downtown Los Angeles in response to recent federal ICE raids. Anti-immigration raid protests began lasts week after the Immigration and Customs Enforcement began rounding up Los Angeles residents deemed illegal aliens last week. ICE reported arresting 118 people on June 7, “including five gang members and numerous criminal aliens” in a series of raids in the Los Angeles area. In response, protests started outside the Metropolitan Detention Center, resulting in police deploying tear gas and pepper spray.
