Stars Wear ‘ICE OUT’ Pins and Make Immigration Statements at the Grammys

At the Grammy Awards in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, many artists arrived wearing black-and-white pins that read “ICE OUT” and used their speeches to show solidarity with immigrants and to condemn the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, The New York Times reported. Bad Bunny said, “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ‘ICE out,’” drawing a standing ovation, and won three trophies including album of the year for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which the Times says became the first all-Spanish album to win the top award in the Grammys’ 68-year history.

Kendrick Lamar won five awards, the story notes, and the report says Bad Bunny is set to give the first halftime performance all in Spanish at the Super Bowl. Billie Eilish, accepting song of the year, said, “No one is illegal on stolen land,” and used a profanity censored from the TV broadcast to castigated ICE, the article says.

Olivia Dean called herself “a granddaughter of an immigrant,” and other performers who wore the pins included Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Kehlani, Joni Mitchell and Carole King, who wore a notably larger pin when she presented song of the year, the report adds.
