Artist's explicit rejection of operations
Puerto Rican singer Ozuna condemned raids carried out by agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Puerto Rico. Radio Miraflores reported that on Tuesday, Oct. 27, the artist known as Ozuna told reporters: “Me dicen que no comente pero sí voy a comentar: los agentes del ICE me ma… el bich…” after finishing a performance at the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2026. Metro Puerto Rico reported the same explicit remark.
Both outlets stated that Ozuna expressed support for Latinos affected by the operations. Radio Miraflores noted he joined other artists including Bad Bunny who have rejected the presence of ICE in Puerto Rico.

Raids in Canóvanas and San Juan
Metro Puerto Rico reported that the comment came amid concerns over interventions in immigrant communities. The Proyecto Integración Comunitaria de San Isidro (PICSI) denounced that ICE agents interrupted a domino tournament it organized in Villa Hugo and Valle Hill, Canóvanas, on Saturday. Attorney Nicole Díaz told the outlet that a caravan of 12 unmarked vehicles arrived at the business “La Reja” around 5 p.m. Agents asked for identification and appeared to target people with darker skin and foreign accents.
Díaz said some of the agents had carried out what she described as violent interventions earlier that day in Barrio Obrero, Villa Palmeras and Capetillo. A separate raid occurred on Sunday in Barrio Obrero, Santurce, where members of the Colectiva Feminista defended the community. Metro Puerto Rico reported that officers threatened the activists with stun devices and pepper spray.
Where the sources differ
Both Radio Miraflores and Metro Puerto Rico agree that Ozuna made an explicit statement against ICE raids on Tuesday, Oct. 27, after a performance at the Billboard Latin Music Awards and that he joined other artists in rejecting the operations. Metro Puerto Rico provides additional details on specific raids, naming the Proyecto Integración Comunitaria de San Isidro, attorney Nicole Díaz, the Canóvanas domino tournament on Saturday, earlier interventions that day in several San Juan neighborhoods, and a Sunday raid in Barrio Obrero where activists were threatened. Radio Miraflores does not mention any of those operational details or the community organization.
What the reports do not say
