Pop star Ariana Grande has added her voice to growing celebrity opposition against Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, sharing resources with her millions of followers on how to contact senators about ICE activities.

Celebrity Coalition Forms Against ICE

Grande posted multiple Instagram Stories directing fans to information about contacting senators regarding ICE operations. The Wicked actress shared content from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who posted that ICE terrorizes cities and should be abolished. She also distributed guides explaining what citizens should do if they encounter ICE agents in their communities.

The entertainment industry’s response follows recent incidents in Minneapolis involving ICE operations that resulted in two fatalities earlier this month. Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti were killed during encounters with ICE agents, sparking nationwide protests and congressional calls for an investigation into agency procedures.

Hollywood Divides on Immigration Policy

Grande joins a roster of entertainment figures speaking against current immigration enforcement practices. Billie Eilish, Pedro Pascal, Jenna Ortega, Glenn Close, and Whoopi Goldberg have all publicly criticized ICE operations. Fans praised Grande’s activism in social media comments, with supporters calling her a queen for using her platform to advocate for policy changes.

However, not all celebrities oppose current administration policies. Rapper Nicki Minaj recently declared herself President Trump’s number one fan during a Washington DC event on January 28, stating that criticism only motivates her to support him more strongly.

What This Means

The celebrity activism reflects broader national debates about immigration enforcement priorities and methods. Entertainment figures increasingly use their platforms to influence political discourse, particularly on issues affecting immigrant communities. The contrasting positions among celebrities mirror wider American divisions on immigration policy, with some supporting stricter enforcement while others advocate for reform or abolition of current practices.
