Musicians Who’ve Spoken Out Against ICE, From Bad Bunny to Billie Eilish

For a while, the only time Bad Bunny addressed ICE was in a 2025 interview with i-D while explaining his choice not to tour in the United States. “There was the issue of, like, f–king ICE could be outside [my concert],” he said at the time. “And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”

But at the 2026 Grammys, Benito made his stance loud and clear while accepting best música urbana album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE out!” he declared, earning loud applause. “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. I know it’s tough not to hate on these days and I was thinking sometime we get contaminados [contaminated]. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.”

Despite the DHS slamming her “garbage rhetoric” in a statement to Billboard in January 2026, Billie Eilish hasn’t backed down from condemning ICE. Later that month, the singer implored her “fellow celebrities” to join her in speaking out about ICE — specifically its actions in Minneapolis — and in early February, she wore an “ICE Out” pin to the Grammys, where she said during her song of the year acceptance speech for “Wildflower”: “No one is illegal on stolen land… f–k ICE.”

She also blasted ICE while accepting the MLK Jr. Environmental Justice Award on Jan. 17. “We’re seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped,” she said at the time. “It is very clear that protecting our planet and our communities is not a priority for this administration. And it’s really hard to celebrate that when we no longer feel safe in our own homes or in our streets.”

After years of being one of music’s most outspoken artists against Trump, Springsteen put his anger toward the president’s administration and ICE in a song titled “Streets of Minneapolis” released in late January 2026.

“Now they say they’re here to uphold the law/ But they trample on our rights/ If your skin is black or brown, my friend/ You can be questioned or deported on sight,” he sings on the anthem. “In our chants of ‘ICE out now’/ Our city’s heart and soul persists/ Through broken glass and bloody tears/ On the streets of Minneapolis.”

“F—k ICE forever,” Chappell Roan cheered at her concert in Pasadena, Calif., in October, prompting her audience to chant it back.

In a statement shared with TMZ, DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin fired back, “‘Pink Pony Club’ is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”

Before playing “Holiday” at a January 2026 Green Day concert, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong explained, “this song is anti-fascist. This song is anti-war. We stand up for our brothers and sisters in Minnesota.”

He’d previously shown support to immigrants and anti-ICE protestors in June 2025 during the ICE raids in L.A.

In November 2025, Kehlani accused ICE of “kidnapping [people] out of schools and jobs and homes and churches … kidnapping American citizens as well,” a sentiment she echoed while accepting the 2026 Grammy for best R&B performance.

“Together, we’re stronger in numbers to speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now,” she said at the ceremony. “I’ma leave this and say: ‘F–k ICE.'”

Even though she was on the other side of the world when the violence in Minneapolis reached a fever pitch, Lady Gaga made sure to make her support of the city’s residents known during her Mayhem Ball concert in Tokyo.

“In a couple of days, I’m gonna be heading home, and my heart is aching thinking about the people, the children, the families, all over America, who are being mercilessly targeted by ICE,” she said on stage on Jan. 29. “I’m thinking about all of their pain and how their lives are being destroyed right in front of us.”

“When entire communities lose their sense of safety and belonging, it breaks something in all of us,” she added. “I hope our leaders are listening. I hope you’re listening to us asking you to change your course of action swiftly and have mercy on everyone in our country.”

In a post on his website, Neil Young wrote in January 2026, “Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes … He has divided us.”

It won’t be easy while he is trying to turn our cities into battlegrounds so he can cancel our elections with marshal law and escape all accountability,” he continued. “We know what to do. Rise up. Peacefully in millions. Too many innocent people are dying … It’s ICE cold here in America.”

“ICEs actions are unconscionable but we are not powerless,” Olivia Rodrigo wrote on her Instagram Story in January after Alex Pretti was killed. “Our actions matter. I stand with Minnesota.”

Before that, Rodrigo had slammed the Trump administration for using her song “All-American Bitch” in a video glorifying ICE. “don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” she commented in November 2025.

On the Billboard Power 100 event red carpet in Los Angeles on Jan. 28, Pusha T delivered a short and sweet takedown of ICE.

“Jan. 28, 2026, f—k ICE,” he said. “Gotta keep it 100. Got to.”

When the DHS used her song “Juno” in a video promoting ICE’s deportations in December 2025, Sabrina Carpenter hit back, “this video is evil and disgusting.”

“Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” she added at the time.

After picking up a pair of new Grammys, SZA shared her thoughts on ICE while addressing ICE outside of the 2026 ceremony.

“It’s incredibly dystopian that we’re dressed up and able to celebrate accolades in the material world, and people are getting snatched up and shot in the face on the street,” she said at the event. “It just feels bizarre, and I find so many of us don’t really know how to feel right now besides rage and hopelessness, and I don’t feel like that’s the calling card that I want to subscribe to … I believe that this is a time when we can dig deep as a community and really learn that okay, it’s not time to count on anyone else but us and our neighbors to protect ourselves; to rally for each other, to be that morale booster, to disseminate mutual aid, to take care of each other.”

She added: “It’s always f–k ICE.”

Amid ICE’s L.A. raids in summer 2025, Tyler, the Creator wrote “F–K ICE” on his Instagram Story and posted a scene from 2002’s Paid in Full, in which the same phrase is repeated multiple times.

Months later, he posted the same scene in response to ICE’s actions in Minneapolis. “Again. And anyone who voted for that man,” the musician wrote.
