At the Grammy Awards, the most prestigious award ceremony in the American pop music industry, voices of criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump's anti-immigration policy resonated.

The 68th Grammy Awards were held on the 1st (local time) at CryptoCom Arena in Los Angeles (LA).

On this day, many singers wore "ICE OUT" badges on their costumes urging the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stop its crackdown or continued to make related remarks directly in their acceptance speeches.

First of all, American singer Billlie Eilish, who won the Song of the Year Award for "WILDFLOWER," a track from her third studio album "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT," said, "I want to be as honest as I am grateful. Bloody ICE. No one is illegal on stolen land. I feel hopeful here and we must continue to speak out," he said, criticizing the Immigration Control Bureau.

Jamaican-British singer Olivia Dean took the stage shortly after winning the Rookie of the Year award and said, "I stand as the granddaughter of immigrants," adding, "I think it's the result of courage (of immigrant families), and they deserve to be praised. We're nothing as long as we don't exist," he said, drawing applause.

Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican and internationally loved Latin pop star for Spanish singing, won the musical Urbana Album category. He went on stage and shouted "ICE OUT" and said, "We are not barbarians or aliens, we are Americans and humans. Love is more powerful than hate."

In addition, Gloria Estefan, Kelani, and Shaboo were also in solidarity, and several singers, including Justin Bieber, Haley Bieber, and Lady Gaga, appeared on the photo wall wearing the "ICE OUT" badge to criticize the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The "Ice Out" that rang out on the Grammy Awards stage was due to a coercive crackdown by federal agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Renee Nicole Good, a white woman raising a 6-year-old child, was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the 8th of last month.

Shortly afterwards, Alex Jeffrey Pretty, a male nurse, was shot and killed by an agent's misconception of carrying a firearm, and the two were shot indiscriminately even though they did not resist or threaten Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, drawing public outrage. As a result, U.S. citizens continue to protest against the Trump administration's policies and agents' responses.
