As music’s biggest night unfolded with the 2026 Grammys on Sunday night (Feb. 1), a number of stars in attendance made sure to call attention to the tensions happening at the same time all over the country due to ICE’s ongoing immigration enforcement operations.
While walking the red carpet leading up to the ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, a number of stars sported “ICE Out” pins to protest the agency’s presence in immigrant communities across the United States under the Donald Trump administration. Both Justin Bieber – whose Swag is up for album of the year and best pop vocal album – and Hailey Bieber wore the accessory, as did Billie Eilish and Finneas, both of whom have been vocal in their opposition to ICE in recent weeks.
Kehlani – who declared “F–k ICE” while accepting best R&B performance for “Folded” during the Grammys pre-show – also wore an “ICE Out” pin, along with Jimmy Jam, Brandi Carlile and more.
The award show comes amid peak political tensions regarding ICE, with outrage reaching a fever pitch in January after not one, but two civilians were shot and killed by immigration enforcement officers in Minneapolis, where the department has been stationed for several weeks. The Trump administration has maintained that both shootings were acts of self-defense on the part of the officers who pulled the trigger, but many believe footage captured by eyewitnesses contradicts that argument.
After the “ICE Out” pins on the red carpet, ICE was a recurring topic at the ceremony itself. When Bad Bunny accepted the prize for best música urbana album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, he used his time on stage to say, “ICE out … We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.”
Below, see photos of the stars who took a stand by wearing “ICE Out” pins at the 2026 Grammys.
