"I'm donating our merch take in Minneapolis ($204K) to Minnesota Immigration Rights Action Committee and Immigrant Defense Network."
"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbours and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free."
"There were bloody footprints where mercy should have stood and two dead left to die on snow-filled streets, Alex Pretti and Renee Good,"
"We'll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis."
A photo showed a hand reading 'ICE OUT' alongside a pledge to donate $204,000 from Minneapolis merch sales to Minnesota Immigration Rights Action Committee and Immigrant Defense Network. The pledge follows the deaths of Renee Good, killed by an ICE agent on 7 January, and Alex Pretti, fatally shot by a Border Patrol officer on 24 January. Multiple musicians, including Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Chappell Roan, opposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement and supported protesters. A song titled 'Streets of Minneapolis' was released on 28 January, dedicated to protesters and the memories of Pretti and Good, with lyrics naming both individuals and criticizing ICE and federal actions. Readers were invited to comment respectfully.
