Billie Eilish made headlines last week when she used her Grammy acceptance speech to speak out against the enforcement of US immigration and customs laws.
Accepting the song of the year award for “Wildflower,” the singer said: “No one is illegal on stolen land. »
“It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I really feel a lot of hope in this room and I feel like we just have to keep fighting and talking and protesting,” she continued.
THE Wicked The hitmaker’s remarks received a sharp response from boxer and social media personality Jake Paul.
In an article on X, Paul told Eilish that if someone doesn’t respect ICE, “you can’t call 911 when you’re in trouble.”
He added: “When Billie Eyelash has her house broken into, it won’t be f–ck ICE, I can promise you that.”
The boxer’s comments were also widely criticized online, with many users pointing out that local police, not ICE, were responding to emergencies.
Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz said police responded in no time and identified themselves.
NFL analyst Lindsey OK wrote: “If someone’s house is broken into, they don’t call ICE a fool. »
Meanwhile, others reminded Paul that he lost his fight to Anthony Joshua, with one saying he was using “child-level logic”.
