Eilish’s anti-ICE eruption: Letters to the Editor — Feb. 5, 2026

The Issue: Billie Eilish saying “f - - k ICE” and “no one is illegal on stolen land” at the 2026 Grammys.

How unsurprising it is to hear all those Hollywood elitists cry about America (“Grammys get ICE-y reception,” Kirsten Fleming, Feb. 3).

Hey, Billie Eilish, if you think you’re living in your mansion on stolen land, no one is stopping you from giving it back.

These Hollywood actors denigrating ICE agents at this year’s Grammys once again shows how unpatriotic they are.

They’re clueless about the plight of the average American citizens, who have to deal with illegal immigrants in their neighborhoods.

These millionaires won’t lose their jobs to illegals, and their wages won’t be undercut by illegals. Illegal immigrants won’t be moving into their affluent gated communities.

Where were all these hypocritical actors, musicians and politicians —now denouncing the deportation of illegal immigrants under the current administration — when Barack Obama was doing the very same thing when he was president?

Can you say double standard?

I was absolutely floored by the sheer ignorance that was displayed by Billie Eilish during this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony.

“No one is illegal on stolen land”: This is from a person who has never actually attended school.

Eilish is obviously ignorant of the fact that the land we’re standing on was in fact not stolen. It was won in a series of battles and wars that spanned hundreds of years.

Stuff like that has happened over the entire course of human history in every continent on this planet.

As for people like Eilish: It would be better for her to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Now we have Eilish opining on American society following in the footsteps of great thinkers like Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres.

What is it about the entertainment industry of today that produces and promotes these individuals to positions of influence beyond their marginal talent?

It seems we’ve now been fully exposed to an ingrate who benefits from America, but trashes it nonetheless.

I don’t know when all these celebrities came to think that their opinions should mean so much to anyone else.

They preach against ICE, the police, the president, his administration, Israel and anyone or anything they disagree with, all while they sit in their mansions with tons of high-tech security and highly paid security.

They preach for the rights of illegal immigrants while they are secured in their mansions that sit on acres and acres of land.

They should put their money where their mouths are: Open their homes to house those living on the streets.

They should build on their land so these immigrants can have a place to live.

They are hypocrites who know no bounds.

After watching just a smidgeon of the 2026 Grammy Awards, I have a wonderful idea for all those celebs who wore “ICE Out” buttons.

Most of them own enormous homes (usually several); they should take in at least four or five illegal immigrant families.

They can supply room, board, food and medical care on their dime, leaving federal and state agencies adequate funds for American families.

I don’t watch award shows, and this year’s Grammy Awards show is the reason.

I do not want to be lectured by the likes of Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny or any of these entitled brats.

Eilish made an idiot out of herself when she said there are no illegals on stolen land.

She has made millions of dollars on this so-called “stolen land” and lives in a $3 mill­ion ranch — which is also on this stolen land — and has 24-hour security with armed guards.

Let her give it back to the Native American tribe that it was stolen from.

Her “f - - k ICE” remark also demonstrates her limited vocabulary.
