Billie Eilish has never been the type to sit politely in the corner, and she\u2019s made that painfully clear again this week, calling out her \u2018fellow celebrities\u2019 for staying silent as Minneapolis reels from deadly violence involving ICE.<\/h2>\n

In a Monday morning (Jan. 26) Instagram Story post, Eilish<\/a><\/strong> shared a photo of herself staring into the camera with the kind of exhausted disbelief that doesn\u2019t need explaining. Across the image, she wrote: \u201chey my fellow celebrities u gonna speak up?\u201d, as reported by Billboard.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The post comes in the wake of the death of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed <\/a><\/strong>on Saturday (Jan. 24) during an immigration enforcement operation. <\/p>\n

The Trump administration has claimed the officer acted in self-defence, alleging Pretti was threatening violence with his handgun, but multiple witness videos from the scene reportedly show Pretti did not appear to be holding the gun during the confrontation, and that a federal agent had seemingly already removed it from his holster before he was shot.<\/p>\n

Pretti\u2019s family has also said the 37 year old Minneapolis man, an ICU<\/a><\/strong> nurse, had a legal permit to carry a concealed handgun in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Eilish reshared posts about Pretti\u2019s killing, while also amplifying the furious response from her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas, who didn\u2019t mince words.<\/p>\n

In a video Eilish reposted, he said: <\/p>\n

\u201cThe conservative argument that allows school shootings to continue has always basically boiled down to, \u2018We have to protect the Second Amendment,\u2019\u201d before adding: \u201cEvery argument I\u2019ve seen for why Alex Pretti\u2019s death was justified yesterday is like, \u2018Well he had a gun.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Finneas then erupted: \u201cShut the f\u2013k up!\u201d and continued: <\/p>\n

\u201cThis guy was being beaten to a pulp on the ground. He didn\u2019t draw his weapon. He had a weapon on him legally. And they still shot the f\u2013k out of him!\u201d<\/p>\n

Outspoken against ICE\u2019s presence<\/h2>\n

Eilish and Finneas have both been outspoken against ICE\u2019s continued presence in Minneapolis, which has now reportedly led to two civilian deaths. <\/p>\n

Weeks earlier, Renee Good was also shot and killed by an ICE agent<\/a><\/strong> in the city, with authorities similarly claiming self-defence while witness footage reportedly contradicted that narrative.<\/p>\n

Eilish previously warned:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped,\u201d adding many Americans \u201cno longer feel safe in our own homes or in our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia Rodrigo also spoke out, writing: \u201cICEs actions are unconscionable but we are not powerless,\u201d and: \u201cour actions matter. I stand with Minnesota.\u201d<\/p>\n
