Olivia Rodrigo Voices Support for Anti-ICE Protests, Shares Personal Border Security Experience

Olivia Rodrigo expressed her support for the anti-ICE protests held on Saturday in Los Angeles, which were organized to oppose what she described as "violent deportations." She shared her views on Instagram Stories.

Rodrigo, who has lived in Los Angeles her entire life, voiced her distress over the deportations of community members. She emphasized the crucial role immigrants play in the city's existence and condemned the lack of respect, empathy, and due process shown to them. She declared her solidarity with the diverse community of Los Angeles and immigrants across the United States.

Furthermore, the singer expressed her support for the right to freedom of speech and protest. She also shared information about immigrant rights, including a link to a resource on what to do when interacting with law enforcement or ICE agents.

In a separate Instagram Stories post, Rodrigo shared a picture from one of the "No Kings" protests that occurred on Saturday.

In a past incident, Rodrigo recounted being detained by border security while attempting to enter the U.S. from Canada. She described being taken from her room and interrogated by a federal officer. She was eventually released after the officer realized he had mistaken her for someone else.
