Lady Gaga used a recent stop on her international tour to launch into a familiar Hollywood rant, condemning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement while framing the agency as a villain targeting families and communities across America.
Speaking emotionally from the stage, the pop star told the crowd her heart was “aching” for what she described as Americans living in fear, claiming ICE actions are tearing families apart and destroying lives. From the comfort of a global arena tour overseas, Gaga positioned herself as a moral authority on U.S. law enforcement and immigration policy—despite having no real connection to the realities on the ground.
Gaga also referenced the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, an incident involving federal agents that has sparked protests and intense media scrutiny. While investigations remain ongoing, the singer used the tragedy to amplify political messaging, suggesting entire communities have lost their sense of safety and belonging.
She urged fans to “stand with” her cause, insisting that even though she wasn’t currently in the United States, she remained spiritually aligned with activists back home. The moment quickly turned into a full-blown virtue signal, capped off by dedicating her song Come to Mama to those she claimed were suffering, alone, or hopeless under current enforcement policies.
Gaga continued by calling on political leaders to “change course,” demanding what she described as accountability and mercy, while implying that law-abiding Americans and immigrants alike are victims of a system she believes has spun out of control. It was a familiar script: emotional language, sweeping accusations, and zero acknowledgment of border chaos, fentanyl trafficking, or the real-world consequences of weak enforcement.
Unsurprisingly, Gaga is far from alone. She joins a growing list of progressive celebrities using their platforms to attack ICE following the Minneapolis shooting. Mark Ruffalo, Olivia Wilde, Wanda Sykes, and others have echoed similar talking points at awards shows and film festivals, while social media has lit up with calls to abolish the agency altogether.
Ariana Grande amplified activist rhetoric online, sharing statements from political figures accusing ICE of “terrorizing” cities. Mandy Moore reposted mainstream media coverage framing the incident as emblematic of systemic abuse. Even Jennifer Aniston, who typically avoids political controversy, broke her silence by sharing emotional posts and urging followers to pressure lawmakers.
More celebrities—including Olivia Rodrigo, Stephen King, Kathy Griffin, and Cynthia Nixon—have since joined the chorus, flooding social media with outrage while offering little beyond slogans and hashtags.
Meanwhile, Gaga continues wrapping up the Tokyo leg of her Mayhem Ball tour, fresh off a career-high seven Grammy nominations. Whether she attends the ceremony remains unclear—but one thing isn’t: Hollywood’s elite remain perfectly comfortable lecturing everyday Americans about law enforcement, borders, and public safety from stages, red carpets, and private jets.
For fans exhausted by celebrity politics, Gaga’s latest comments feel less like compassion—and more like another meltdown from the woke entertainment machine.
