Bassist Francis Xayana and guitarist Patrick “Patty” Somoulay have both exited Reflections. The duo blamed their departures on vocalist Jake Wolf.

Xayana said the following:

“Jake has always had control of the band.

There’s a reason Patty left even though he is the primary writer.

Jake is an ICE apologist and I will not fuck with someone like that.

I don’t give a flying fuck what we’ve been through. I cannot trust a person who thinks this is necessary.

And honestly fuck you if you support this ICE shit. You’re a fucking bitch.

And instead of getting into your fucking feelings y’all should have been listening to Black voices this entire time.

Now when a white person is killed in the same form they’ve experienced for centuries, we are at end game.

There is no going back. This is the beginning of the end if people continue to turn a blind eye.

He’s going to kill anyone who opposes him.”

Somoulay added:

“I am no longer a part of Reflections.

A lot of stuff happening in life lately where it just does not feel okay to continue on with this myself.

Also f**k ICE.

This isn’t the country my family wanted to risk their lives to come to”
