You know? I wouldn’t have pegged Justin and Hailey Bieber as advocates for violent criminals. I wouldn’t have expected Bad Bunny to be comfortable standing shoulder-to-shoulder with policies that protect rapists and child predators. I certainly wouldn’t have guessed Billie Eilish would publicly align herself with movements that undermine law enforcement tasked with removing some of the most dangerous people from our country. Yet here we are.

By wearing those insipid little pins that read “ICE OUT” during the Grammy Awards telecast, the celebrity class didn’t just make a political statement. They adopted—verbatim—the talking points of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz, Justin Frey, and the broader radical Left that wants Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crippled or abolished entirely.

And if you want ICE out, it says something very specific about your value system.

First, it means you are willing—knowingly or not—to defend the people ICE is lawfully removing from the United States: heinous criminal aliens. These are not gardeners, nannies, or people overstaying visas while working two jobs. ICE’s primary enforcement targets today are individuals with criminal convictions or pending charges—including murder, rape, sexual assault, child exploitation, human trafficking, drug distribution, and violent gang activity.

And let’s be clear: silence is also a statement. Every artist who stood there wearing that pin—or said nothing while others did—endorsed the message.

ICE isn’t perfect. No institution run by fallen humans is. But abolishing ICE wouldn’t create mercy. It would create open season on the vulnerable.

The men and women of ICE deserve something better than smug condemnation from celebrities who will never visit a crime scene, interview a trafficking victim, or knock on a family’s door after a preventable death.

Here’s the reality the Grammys don’t want to face: When ICE does its job, communities are safer.

When ICE is obstructed, criminals thrive. And when celebrities glamorize ignorance, real people pay the price. You can clap for that if you want. The rest of us will stand with the people doing the hard work—quietly, lawfully, and with far more compassion than those pretending to have it.
