Grammys winner Billie Eilish says ‘fuck ICE’

Pop star Billie Eilish has spoken out at the Grammys against Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unit. The militia have been running wild across Minnesota. They’ve been terrorising families, stealing children such as Liam Ramos, and killing Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in cold blood.

At the Grammys Eilish said:

‘No one is illegal on stolen land’

As we’ve previously reported, the government is rushing through poorly-vetted recruits to get as many ICE agents on the street as possible. Some of these recruits are sexually harassing one another; others are off their heads on drugs. And as one insider said:

This isn’t the department of baking cookies. This is the Department of Homeland Security, where you can be deported from the country.

And we’re now employing people who are not equipped to tie their own shoelaces.

This whole thing is a complete disaster from beginning to end.

Speaking at the Grammys, Eilish said in the video above:

No one is illegal on stolen land.

And yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. And I just, I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting and our voices really do matter and the people matter.

And fuck ICE.

Eilish isn’t the only pop start to have spoken out against ICE and the Trump regime. As we reported, this is what Sabrina Carpenter said in response to ICE using one of her songs in a promotional video:

‘Fuck ICE’

Elilish and Carpenter join the likes of celebrities such as Kehlani and Bad Bunny who both spoke out against ICE during the Grammys:

This high-profile protest has helped to shine a global spotlight on the actions of ICE, but the question remains: will this ‘ICE out’ movement in the music industry be enough to force change to federal policy?
