"While accepting the award for Song of the Year at Sunday night's 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Eilish called on opponents of federal agents' brutal enforcement tactics - which have already led to the deaths of at least eight people, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti - to "keep fighting and speaking up and protesting." In her speech, Eilish also asserted that "no one is illegal on stolen land," likely a reference to the acquisition of Indigenous land by early settlers across the U.S."
""Ok, Billie. Your $14,000,000 mansion in LA is built where the Tongva tribes once lived," the End Wokeness X account posted Sunday. "Any plans on returning it?" In a Monday post responding to Eilish's speech, British journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer described the pop star as "a blithering idiot," adding that if Eilish were serious about her comments, "then she'll happily hand over her multi-million pound Malibu beachfront home to illegal migrants... Which she won't, because it's all just silly celeb posturing.""
Billie Eilish criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement while accepting Song of the Year, urging opponents of federal agents' tactics to "keep fighting and speaking up and protesting." She declared that "no one is illegal on stolen land," a likely reference to historic Indigenous land acquisition. Social media critics accused her of hypocrisy, citing a reported $14 million Los Angeles mansion on Tongva land and demanding restitution. Conservative commentators and outlets called her remarks celebrity posturing, called her names, and urged her to "shut up and sing," while amplifying demands that she return or host migrants in her home.
