Grammy-winning singer Billie Eilish has joined a chorus of celebrity voices in vehemently condemning US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), labelling it a "terrorist group" following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
Celebrities Unite in Outrage
The 24-year-old pop star used her Instagram Stories on Friday to amplify messages criticising the federal agency after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good on Wednesday. One reposted statement declared, "ICE is a federally funded and supported terrorist group" that tears apart families and terrorises citizens.
"Enough is enough," the post, shared by Eilish, repeated three times. The singer also shared another claim that Good "wasn't the first killed by ICE," citing figures alleging 32 deaths in ICE custody in 2025 and two people killed by the agency in 2026.
A Wave of Hollywood Condemnation
Eilish is far from alone in her fury. Comedian John Mulaney postponed his Minneapolis comedy shows, stating the "situation is so unsafe" in the city following the shooting. Actress Eva Longoria posted videos of the incident, captioned "This is murder" and "Arrest the shooter."
Amanda Seyfried reposted a video of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to leave the city, followed by a quote from George Orwell's 1984. Marvel star Simu Liu wrote on X, "Beyond appalled at the murderous actions of ICE agents," adding "F*** ICE forever." Actresses Cynthia Nixon and others echoed calls to "Abolish ICE."
The Incident and Its Aftermath
The shooting occurred on Wednesday when Good was driving an SUV blocking a street during protests against an ICE operation targeting Somali migrants. Agent Jonathan 'Jon' Ross fired three shots after Good drove off, with one bullet through the windshield killing her. The Trump administration has defended Ross, arguing he acted in self-defence.
Good's friends described her as a "warrior" and part of an activist network. Minneapolis remains tense, with further protests, school closures, and over 2,000 Department of Homeland Security officers deployed in a major enforcement operation.
