\n\tBecky G<\/a> made a bold statement against ICE at this year\u2019s 2026 MusiCares<\/a> Person of the Year benefit gala.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile walking the red carpet at the star-studded event on Friday (Jan. 30) at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the 28-year-old Mexican-American singer raised her hands for the cameras, revealing freshly painted nails that spelled out \u201cF\u2014k ICE\u201d<\/a> as she posed with a kissy face.<\/p>\n

\n\tBecky G attended the 35th annual MusiCares Person of the Year gala, which honored Mariah Carey<\/a>. The event took place two nights before the 68th annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis isn\u2019t the first time the Latin star has spoken out against the Trump administration. In 2015, she released the song \u201cWe Are Mexico\u201d<\/a> in response to then-Republican presidential nominee remarks about Latinos and Mexican immigrants.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHard work, double time, overtime, two jobs, working till our heads hurt, but we ain\u2019t never late to pay the bills,\u201d she sings on the track.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe Are Mexico\u201d debuted just days after Trump said Mexican immigrants were drug dealers, criminals, and rapists at the start of his campaign in 2015.<\/p>\n

\n\tBecky G joins a host of other musicians who have spoken out amid ICE\u2019s recent immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota, where agents shot and killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing their deaths, artists including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, Lizzo, Ice-T, Pusha T, Dave Matthews and Duran Duran spoke out against ICE, while Minneapolis residents mourned the victims and protested the agency\u2019s presence in the city.<\/p>\n

\n\tMayor Jacob Frey called for federal agents to leave, saying, \u201cThis was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.\u201d<\/p>\n
