Kailyn Lowry isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Since she appeared on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom, viewers have known this about the mom of seven. And recently, Kailyn Lowry issued a PSA to her followers about ICE raids in schools and churches.
For context, President Donald Trump’s administration rolled back Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, policies after he took office on January 20, 2025. The Department of Homeland Security now permits ICE agents to make arrests in “sensitive” areas such as churches, schools, and courthouses. This, coupled with Trump’s vows for mass deportations, has understandably put communities on high alert.
Kailyn Lowry sent a message to fans about ICE raids in schools and churches.
On January 24, Kailyn, 32, posted a video on TikTok addressing the policy changes on ICE raids.
“Authorizing ICE to target schools and churches is a very dangerous game,” she said to the camera while in her vehicle. “And I can’t imagine a world where I’m friends with people who would give up children and families to ICE.”

She also issued a PSA to followers.
Kailyn didn’t stop there.
“So if you’re one of those people that would speak to an ICE agent or be cooperative with an ICE agent, I’m gonna need you to immediately remove yourself from my social medias,” she told her TikTok followers. “And also from my life.”
TikTok users lauded Kailyn for speaking out.
Many of Kailyn’s followers praised the reality star for shedding light on the topic.
One person wrote, “I haven’t heard no influencer nor someone who has a platform to speak about this thaaank you 🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.”
Another TikTok user shared, “As a teacher, thank you so much for using this space to speak up! 💙,” and someone else commented, “Thank you for using your platform and speaking about this!”
“Having ICE raid a school would be so traumatizing for the entire school, staff and children. I’m HORRIFIED,” yet another person pointed out.
Meanwhile, someone else shared, “I’m freaking out as a teacher. Those are my babies too. There is no way I’m letting them take anyone out of my classroom.”

In a follow-up video, she replied to a commenter.
One of the commenters on Kailyn’s video wrote, “Why can’t people just get documented.” In response, Kailyn posted a follow-up TikTok clip elaborating on the situation.
“I’m encouraging you to do your research and do your context clues. Because it’s not actually about illegal immigrants, OK? It’s much, much deeper than that,” she explained in the clip.
In her second video, Kailyn cited a news article reporting that ICE agents detained undocumented residents as well as US citizens in Newark, New Jersey – including a veteran. She pointed out that ICE agents are “racially profiling” and “targeting the weak” at schools, churches, and hospitals.
“It’s giving,” she says before pausing and mouthing “Hitler.”
Kailyn added, “So it doesn’t matter if you’re providing documents or not. They’re going to detain you if they see fit.”
Finally, the mom of seven concluded, “These are very, very difficult conversations that I’m having to have with my children. And I think that everybody should be doing the same. You really don’t know, and this is a case of history repeating itself.”

Another TikTok user wrote, “It’s sad we have to tell our children what can happen in classes and that you might [not] see your classmates or best friend again🥺.”
Someone else encouraged, “KEEP SPEAKING!! I love you dude!! 🥺.”
