The woke music machine has found its newest villain — Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
From the Grammy stage to Instagram Stories, some of the biggest names in pop and hip hop have turned “F–k ICE” into a red carpet accessory. But here’s the part they won’t say out loud: nearly every one of these anti-ICE activists lives in multi-million-dollar mansions, behind gated communities, with private security, surveillance systems, and legal teams on speed dial.
They love borders when it’s their property.
They hate them when it’s the country’s.
Here’s a look at the loudest voices leading the anti-ICE celebrity parade.
At the 2026 Grammys, Bad Bunny used his acceptance speech to shout “ICE out,” earning cheers from Hollywood elites. Months earlier, he claimed concern about ICE being outside his concerts.
Meanwhile, the global superstar tours with full security detail and operates in tightly controlled venues. The same system that protects his concerts and career? Law enforcement.
Billie Eilish wore an “ICE Out” pin at the Grammys and used her speeches to condemn immigration enforcement. She even urged other celebrities to join her in attacking the agency.
But like most A-list artists, she performs in secured arenas, travels with security, and lives under protection most Americans can’t afford.
Bruce Springsteen released a protest anthem about Minneapolis, framing ICE as trampling civil rights.
The irony? Springsteen has spent decades earning generational wealth while criticizing the country that made him a billionaire rock icon. His concerts are secured events with ticket prices out of reach for many working-class fans he claims to represent.
Chappell Roan led crowds in chanting “F–k ICE forever” at concerts.
Crowds protected by venue security. In cities protected by law enforcement.
Before performing “Holiday,” Green Day declared their opposition to ICE and framed themselves as anti-fascist warriors.
This from a band that built a multi-million-dollar brand within the very capitalist system they constantly condemn.
Justin Bieber showed up at the Grammys wearing an “ICE Out” pin alongside his wife.
The pop star owns luxury properties and employs round-the-clock security — the kind of protection regular American families rely on law enforcement to provide in their communities.
Katy Perry took to Instagram urging fans to pressure senators to block ICE funding.
She lives in exclusive neighborhoods, shielded from the consequences of open-border chaos, while encouraging political activism from the safety of her mansion.
Kehlani accused ICE of “kidnapping” people and repeated the phrase at the Grammys.
Again — from the stage of one of the most heavily secured events in the world.
Lady Gaga told fans overseas that America’s communities were being “mercilessly targeted” by ICE.
She travels internationally with full security and works with corporate partners that rely on strict immigration compliance laws.
Lizzo shared emotional videos condemning ICE operations in Minnesota.
She too benefits from a system of private protection that mirrors the very enforcement structures she criticizes.
Moby called for boycotts of corporations he claims support ICE.
Yet the music industry itself runs on corporate contracts, legal protections, and federal systems that enforce intellectual property and business law.
Neil Young wrote that America was being destroyed and urged peaceful mass resistance.
Another millionaire artist warning about collapse from the comfort of massive estates.
Olivia Rodrigo condemned ICE’s actions and lashed out when her music was used in a government video.
Her brand thrives globally because the United States enforces contracts, visas, copyright, and business regulations.
Pusha T delivered a blunt anti-ICE message on a red carpet.
The same red carpet guarded by layers of law enforcement.
Sabrina Carpenter blasted ICE after her music appeared in a deportation-related video.
She tours arenas that require strict security screening — something everyday Americans want in their neighborhoods too.
SZA called the situation dystopian and joined the “F–k ICE” chorus.
Yet the dystopia somehow doesn’t extend to her luxury lifestyle.
Tom Morello organized resistance concerts in Minneapolis, framing ICE enforcement as state terror.
Concerts that, once again, rely on police coordination and security presence.
Tyler The Creator repeatedly posted anti-ICE messages during enforcement actions in Los Angeles and Minneapolis.
His multimillion-dollar creative empire exists because American law protects it.
The woke music maniacs all follow the same script: condemn enforcement of immigration law, equate border security with oppression, and frame America as evil — all while benefiting from the very structure they attack.
They demand no borders for the country.
But they demand walls, gates, guards, and security for themselves.
That’s not activism.
That’s elite hypocrisy wrapped in a Grammy speech.
And the American public is starting to notice.
