Latin music star Bad Bunny said in an interview published Wednesday that he has not planned any U.S. tour dates on his latest tour because he doesn’t want Latino fans detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

In an interview with i-D, the artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, confirmed that one of the main reasons behind the absence of U.S. tour dates on his "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos World Tour" was so there was no risk his fans could be picked up by ICE agents.

"But there was the issue of — like, f---ing ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about," he told the outlet, expressing concerns over President Donald Trump’s second-term deportation agenda.

The remaining concerts listed on the tour are scheduled in Europe, Australia and South America. No concert in the lineup had been planned for any U.S. venues, except for multiple shows in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, in September.

He did encourage his U.S. fans to travel to the territory, or other countries, to catch his shows.

"People from the U.S. could come here to see the show," he said. "Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world."

The singer told i-D he has been fond of touring in America, calling his shows there "successful."

"There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate — I’ve performed there many times. All of [the shows] have been successful. All of them have been magnificent," he said, adding, "I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the U.S."

When asked to respond to the artist's statement, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson asked Fox News Digital, "Does Bad Bunny perform exclusively for criminal illegal aliens?"

The artist has been outspoken about ICE in the past. While visiting Puerto Rico in June, Ocasio recorded and posted video of what he described as local ICE raids to social media. 

"Look, those motherf------s are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela," he said in Spanish, mentioning ICE working on the Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina, a city east of Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan.

"Sons of b------, instead of leaving the people alone and working there," he added.

Ocasio publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president last year after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe joked during a comedy set that Puerto Rico was a "floating island of garbage." 

Ocasio shared a video backing Harris with his 45 million Instagram followers on Sunday shortly after Tony Hinchcliffe made the remarks about Puerto Rico and Latinos. A representative of the artist confirmed to The Associated Press that he is supporting Harris.

Reps for Ocasio did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital for comment.

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle were in agreement that political discourse in the United States has reached a startling level following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent acts of political violence.

Kirk's assassination is the latest in a string of political violence that has left several high-profile figures dead or injured since July 2024, when President Donald Trump was shot while campaigning for his second term in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was targeted again by a would-be assassin just months later. In April, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was the victim of an arson attack. And in June, two Minnesota lawmakers and their families were attacked, leaving two dead. 

The political violence has had a chilling effect on the nation, with some lawmakers going so far as to cancel public appearances amid fears of physical violence.  

"We have a climate right now where people who are frankly unhinged … like the two guys who tried to shoot President Trump, one who did shoot him, the person – whoever it is – who killed Charlie, the person who went after the Minnesota lawmakers – these people are nuts," Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital. "But they are egged on by a climate that says, ‘Hey, you know, it’s okay basically to go out and shoot your opponents because they're really Hitler.'"

The sentiment was echoed by Democratic lawmakers on the Hill as well. 

"It's really sad and just scary, you know, honestly, just how dire things have gotten in this country in terms of our political discourse," said Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J. "I was actually just remarking the other day how, in a survey, over 50% of Americans surveyed said that they would call people in the other political party ‘the enemy.’ I just think that's terrifying, that's so dangerous of a place for our country to be."

Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon added that in order for this Republic to work, people must be able to "passionately share [their] viewpoints and do so knowing that we resolve our differences through advocacy and voting, not through violence."

"I don't know what it says about political discourse, but it certainly says something about violence, and it has no business in political discourse. You can have a robust disagreement with people, but when it turns to violence, something's gone badly wrong," responded Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., when asked about what Kirk's death said about the current state of political discourse.

Kirk was known for engaging passionately, but also respectfully, with students of all political stripes on college campuses as part of Turning Point USA, the grassroots organization he co-founded in 2012. He would regularly visit college campuses all around the country and debate with students from different perspectives on various issues of the day. Oftentimes, Kirk would hold "Prove Me Wrong" events, where he would give students a chance to do just that – prove him wrong.

"I mean, that's the shame of this. Charlie Kirk was polite, he had a message, and he spread that message, and he engaged people to speak and debate, and then he lost his life for that," said Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky. "That's the thing about this country, we have freedom of speech. Nobody should ever take out violence based on something somebody said."

"I would hope that all people would take a moment, reflect, and bring down this political rhetoric," Rep. Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill., told Fox News Digital. "These violent words precede violent actions." 

Hawley, meanwhile, suggested a tactic to help solve the issue.

"I'll just say again, part of the way we stop it, is we realize that there's stuff in life that's more important than politics," he told reporters.
