The stars are coming together for a good cause. Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for the immediate closure of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE<\/a>) detention center in Dilley, Texas. The open letter<\/a>, published on Change.org, demands that the federal government and CoreCivic close the facility \u201cimmediately, return children and families to the homes and communities they were taken from and to end child imprisonment now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the signatures are the names of dozens of artists, including Madonna, Gracie Abrams, Ayo Edebiri, Keke Palmer, Lena Dunham, Elliot Page, Pedro Pascal, Jane Fonda, Javier Bardem, Michelle Williams, Kesha, John Legend, Diego Luna, and Cynthia Nixon, plus many others.<\/p>\n

The letter highlights the horrific conditions detainees, particularly children, endure when kept in immigration detention centers: \u201ctrauma, neglect and conditions that violate basic standards of health, safety, dignity and human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Per NBC data<\/a>, at least 46 people have died in ICE custody between January 2025 and March 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren belong in schools and on playgrounds, not in detention centers,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cOur commitment does not end with closure. We demand transparency, accountability, and systemic reforms to prevent these abuses from happening anywhere in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

After President Donald Trump took office<\/a> for his second term on January 20, 2025, he launched an attack on immigrants and minorities in the United States. Since then, he has sent his ICE agents around the country to take non-white residents<\/a> into custody without so much as a warrant. ICE has even killed peaceful allies: Alex Pretti and Ren\u00e9e Good<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Advocates, leaders, and celebrities have since used their platforms to call out Trump\u2019s divisive policies and ICE\u2019s deplorable actions. Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, Mark Ruffalo, and Bruce Springsteen are only some of the celebrities who\u2019ve harshly criticized<\/a> the president over his ongoing ICE raids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During awards season, stars even walked the red carpets<\/a> with \u201cICE OUT\u201d pins<\/a> to show their solidarity for immigrants in the country.<\/p>\n

And the fight is far from over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
