Billie Eilish Blasts ICE After Fatal Minneapolis Shooting, Calls Agency “Federally Funded Terrorist Group”
January 11, 2026 — Minneapolis & U.S. news desk
Pop superstar Billie Eilish has sharply criticized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the controversial fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this week. Eilish reshared a series of posts on her Instagram Stories that labeled ICE a “federally funded and supported terrorist group” and urged her followers to press lawmakers for accountability and reform.
Good, a poet and mother of three, was shot and killed on January 7 during a large federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and federal officials say the agent acted in self-defense, alleging Good’s vehicle was used in a dangerous confrontation — claims disputed by local authorities and eyewitnesses.
Eilish’s posts amplified criticism of ICE’s broader record on immigration enforcement and deaths related to the agency, reposting content that accused ICE of tearing families apart and urged its abolition. Her comments quickly drew pushback from DHS, which condemned the social media messages as “garbage rhetoric” and defended the agency’s actions in the Minneapolis incident.
The Minneapolis shooting has ignited widespread protests and public debate nationwide, with local leaders in Minnesota and civil rights advocates calling for independent reviews of ICE conduct. In Minneapolis, residents and elected officials have drawn comparisons to past clashes between law enforcement and the community, highlighting deep mistrust of federal agents.
Demonstrations in cities such as New York have drawn thousands of people urging accountability for the shooting, while federal officials continue to defend the posture and procedures of ICE agents under current immigration enforcement policies.
As the controversy unfolds, Good’s death has become a focal point in broader national discussions over immigration policy, law enforcement use of force, and the role of federal agencies operating in local communities.
