Although many American voters liked the idea of President Donald Trump deporting violent undocumented immigrants, many have opposed his tactics, which have included dragging American citizens from their homes with no judicial warrant, only to later find out that they have citizenship and no violent history.
Depending on who a person talks to, celebrities often miss the mark when it comes to political and social issues.
Many, like those from the African-American community, have criticized stars like Michael Jordan for not speaking out enough on racial issues.
On the other hand, comedians like Ricky Gervais often warn celebrities about speaking out on controversial issues because he believes many are out of touch with the concerns of working-class people.
However, many celebrities have recently used their platform to raise concerns about the governing style of President Donald Trump, who has used I.C.E. to terrorize American citizens based on skin color, other physical characteristics and political leanings.
I.CE. has even killed White Americans who have protested their draconian tactics in Minneapolis.
Therefore, many Americans, famous or not, have used whatever voice or reach they have to let their concerns be known about I.C.E. raids and other controversial political issues, which is something afforded to them in a democracy.
RegalMag.com scoured the Internet to see what some of the most well-known Americans have to say about President Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants, which has spilled over into and attempted crackdown on the First and Second Amendments of the United States Constitution.
Comments made during and after the 2026 Grammy Awards
Bad Bunny (singer/rapper)—“We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans…hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love.”
Olivia Dean (singer)—“I want to say I’m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant. I wouldn’t be here…I’m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. We are nothing without each other.”
Shaboozey (country music star)—“Immigrants built this country, literally. So, this is for them, for all children of immigrants. This is also for those who came to this country in search of a better opportunity to be a part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity to everyone willing to work for it. Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories and your traditions here. You give America color. I love y’all so much.”
Bernice King (preacher/activist)—It’s #BlackHistoryMonth, and I have to ask: Are people including enslaved Africans, descendants of those enslaved and Black people whose unjust, low-wage labor sustained the economy in the 1800s/1900s as immigrants when they say ‘immigrants built this country’? Because chattel slavery was for the express purpose of building empire. But our ancestors weren’t folks who came here seeking a better life. They arrived in chains, were bred like cattle, and severely violated, sexually and otherwise. Their trauma shouldn’t be diminished or forgotten, even in efforts toward freedom from ICE’s inhumane, violent tactics.”
Tariq Nasheed (social commentator)—“Nigerian American ‘Country’ singer Shaboozey won a #GRAMMY , and told the LIE that ‘immigrants built this country.’ This country was built by Foundational Black Americans who are NOT immigrants.”
Trevor Noah (comedian)—“Congrats, Billie Eilish. Wow, that’s a Grammy that every artist wants—almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you it’s my last year [hosting]! What are you going to do about it?”
Trump—“The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer. The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards.”
Comments made before the Grammy Awards
Jamie Lee Curtis (actress)—“Let the ICE storm of resistance ring loudly.
Pedro Pascal (actor)—“Truth is a line of demarcation between a democratic government and authoritarian regime. Mr. Pretti and Rene Good are dead. The American people deserve to know what happened.”
Finneas (music producer)—“You’ve spent 30 years straight telling us that children have to die so that we’re allowed to legally carry weapons everywhere in the United States. This guy (Pretti) was being beaten to a pulp on the ground, he didn’t draw his weapon. He had a weapon on him legally.”
Billie Eilish (singer)—We’re seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protestors being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped, resources to fight the climate crisis being cut for fossil fuels and animal agriculture destroying our planet, and people’s access to food and health care becoming a privilege for the wealthy instead of a new basic human right for all Americans…It’s 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 and or in our streets.”
Florence Pugh (actress)—“1 person being murdered is harrowing enough. 12? Killed by masked people with guns. Morals. Even that seems too light a word to use when it’s actually, ‘are you okay with people being killed or not’?”
Mark Ruffalo (actor)—“Cold blooded murder in the streets of the USA by an occupying military gang, creating havoc. We have fought wars in other countries for less than this.”
Dean Cain (actor)—Regarding Pretti, “He’s standing between law enforcement officials and that woman—that’s a mistake in its own right. And doing it while armed is a bad, bad idea.”
