Billie Eilish Has A Message For Her Young Fans About ICE — & A Call Out To 'Fellow Celebrities'

Billie Eilish is continuing her reign as one of Gen Z’s most outspoken pop stars with a message to her Instagram followers about standing up against ICE terror.

Eilish, along with her brother and collaborator Finneas, spoke up about the ongoing ICE raids in Minnesota and the death of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis on Saturday, January 24.

In addition to posting several infographics over the weekend, including one that called Pretti “a real American hero,” Eilish posted a video of her brother discussing Pretti’s death. “The conservative argument that allows school shootings to continue has always basically boiled down to, ‘We have to protect the Second Amendment,'” Finneas said. “Every argument I’ve seen for why Alex Pretti’s death was justified yesterday is like, ‘Well he had a gun.’”

“Shut the f–k up!” the Grammy winner continues in the video. “This guy was being beaten to a pulp on the ground. He didn’t draw his weapon. He had a weapon on him legally. And they still shot the f–k out of him!”

After the video, Eilish called out other stars by posting a photo of herself, alongside the caption, “hey my fellow celebrities u gonna speak up?”

Weeks earlier, Eilish spoke out against ICE and the agency’s killing of Renee Nicole Good. “We’re seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped,” Eilish said while accepting the 2026 MLK Jr. Beloved Community Award For Environmental Justice on January 17, adding that many Americans “no longer feel safe in our own homes or in our streets.”

Other young stars who have joined Eilish in slamming ICE and the Trump administration include Olivia Rodrigo, who posted, “ICEs actions are unconscionable but we are not powerless. our actions matter. I stand with Minnesota.”

Other celebrities used their appearances at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend. Olivia Wilde, who wore an ICE Out pin to the premiere of her film, The Invite, told the Associated Press, “I’m horrified by this string of murders that we’re somehow legitimatizing and normalizing. And I think Americans are all horrified. I think it’s insane and hideous. And I think it’s appalling. It’s really difficult to be here and celebrating something so joyous and beautiful and positive when we know what’s happening on the streets.”

“Americans are out on the streets marching and demanding justice, and we’re there with them. And if we can do anything without platforms, we can speak out and demand that ICE get out.”
