Political tensions surrounding the subject of immigration in the United States have gotten so intense, an unprecedented number of musicians has begun speaking up in opposition to the actions of ICE under the Donald Trump administration.

While always a hot-button issue, ICE became more polarizing than ever in January 2026, when an immigration enforcement officer named Jonathan Ross shot and killed civilian Renee Good during an operation in Minneapolis. Just weeks later, a different officer shot and killed another Minnesotan, Alex Pretti; in both instances, the president and other federal government leaders maintained that the officers were acting in self-defense, but video footage captured by eyewitnesses has many Americans convinced otherwise. In response, fans have seen the biggest wave yet of famous artists publicly condemning ICE, whether through posts on social media or by wearing “ICE Out” buttons on the Grammys red carpet in February. (Also at the award show, a number of winners used their acceptance speeches as opportunities to admonish the agency’s actions, including album of the year victor Bad Bunny and song of the year winner Billie Eilish.)

But even before 2026, some stars were already slamming ICE — especially after officers raided numerous immigrant communities in the Los Angeles area in June during Trump’s first year back in office. Everyone from Olivia Rodrigo to Tyler, the Creator condemned ICE over the summer, and continued speaking out against the DHS branch in the months that followed.

As ICE continues to polarize the country by carrying out Trump’s campaign promise of mass deportations, Billboard is keeping track of all the musicians who are speaking out in protest. See which stars have addressed the subject below, listed in alphabetical order.
