Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas are not happy. They want other famous people to talk about something serious. A man named Alex Pretti was shot by ICE officers. He was a nurse. He had a gun, but he wasn't using it. Yet, they shot him. This happened in Minneapolis. It's not the first time something like this has happened there.
Billie posted a selfie with a question. She asked other celebrities if they were going to say something. Finneas made a video. He said the argument that guns protect people is not always true. He said Alex was on the ground and didn't use his gun. But they still shot him.
Other celebrities have spoken up too. Jennifer Aniston shared a video. She asked people to contact their senators. Mark Ruffalo called it murder. Ariana Grande shared resources. Becky G joked about ICE. Olivia Rodrigo and SZA both had issues with the White House using their music to promote ICE.
But why are they speaking up? Maybe because they can. They have big voices. They can reach a lot of people. But not all celebrities are speaking up. Maybe they don't know what to say. Or maybe they're scared. But Billie and Finneas think they should say something. They think it's important.
This isn't just about one man. It's about a bigger problem. It's about ICE and how they act. It's about guns and who gets to use them. It's about who gets to speak up and who stays quiet. It's about power and who has it.
