Outcry over the death of Renee Nicole Good continues in the US and among the many artists criticising Donald Trump’s administration is Billie Eilish.
The nine-time Grammy winning singer-songwriter took to her Instagram after an ICE agent fatally shot the 37-year-old in Minneapolis last week, sharing several posts including one calling ICE a “federally funded and supported terrorist group” and another listing 32 people who reportedly died in ICE custody last year.
The artist also encouraged US citizens to call their representatives in Congress to demand that ICE be defunded, and for the officer who fired the deadly shot in Minneapolis to be arrested and charged immediately.
The tragedy which occurred last Wednesday has sparked a wave of protests across the US, while Donald Trump and JD Vance have claimed that Good was trying to run over the agents with her car and that the officer was acting in self-defense.
Eilish’s posts are part of wider outcry from artists such as Dave Matthews, Mark Ruffalo, Neil Young and Duran Duran, who have all spoken out against ICE and the Trump administration’s immigration policies in the wake of Good’s death.
Neil Young wrote in an op-ed on his website: “Something has to change this. We know what to do. Rise up. Peacefully in millions. Too many innocent people are dying. It’s ICE cold here in America.”
As for Stranger Things’ Joe Kerry, he took to social media to hit out at Donald Trump for his lack of compassion. He shared a photo of Trump’s Truth Social post and wrote over the top: “Zero human decency. Stop this man”.
