In a passionate social media outburst, Zara Larsson criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while expressing her support for immigrants, transgender individuals, socialism, and even people with criminal backgrounds.
The 28-year-old Swedish pop star, known for her advocacy of progressive causes, took to her Instagram story to voice her anger following the ICE-involved shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota.
“I don’t know about you all, but I’d rather have someone smoking crack on my couch than an ICE agent,” she wrote, adding, “They’re criminals too—killing, kidnapping, violent, hateful ones.”
In another post, Larsson shared her love for a wide range of people and causes, including “immigrants, criminals, trans people, abortions, queers, slutty women, contraception, welfare, and socialism.”
She made her stance clear by stating, “I absolutely hate ICE.”
Larsson further explained her perspective on supporting individuals with criminal records in a message related to her boyfriend, Swedish dancer Lamin Holmén. She stated, “Criminals?!? Yes, absolutely—I’m all for that.”
‘The reason why my sweet, loving, kind, caring, compassionate, smart, generous, talented, thoughtful man can’t come to the US – AT ALL – to visit me ever since we got together almost six years ago is because he has a criminal record. Guess for what! Weed!’
‘We spend months and months apart because of a little spliff over six years ago.’

She then wondered ‘what went wrong’ with ICE agents in the wake of Jonathan Ross’ shooting of 37-year-old Good, which has been seen by many as being in self-defense.
‘Is it toxic masculinity? A frail ego, a fear of people and low IQ all mixed up, like a disgusting cocktail? Red pill podcasts? Sprinkled with some absence of love from their parents in childhood? Seriously, what happened in their heads that lead those men (mind you!! I have yet to see a female agent!!!) down this path?’
She further complained that ICE agents have been ‘groomed by white supremacy and toxic masculinity.’
Larsson said the solution is to ‘teach little boys compassion and empathy, so they can grow up and view every person like a person.’
The singer-songwriter also suggested that ‘the billionaire leaders are f**king drooling at the sight of society being this divided.’
‘We can change people. I believe that. I have to believe that. F**k ICE,’ she concluded.
Larsson became the latest left-leaning celebrity to denounce the shooting, joining almost every high-profile figure in the Democrat Party, comedian Jimmy Kimmel and NBA coach Steve Kerr.
A group of 156, mostly left-wing lawmakers have demanded accountability from ICE after Good’s death in a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons.
They demanded ‘an immediate suspension of the current surge of federal officers and agents to Minneapolis and an investigation into this reprehensible event by an independent agency.’
‘We write to express our horror and outrage at the actions that have taken place under your command. This is not the first time your agents have used unnecessary force on civilians without provocation,’ the lawmakers wrote in a statement.
‘You have lost the faith and confidence of the American people.
‘We demand that you immediately suspend the current surge of federal officers and agents to Minneapolis and that you work with an independent agency to ensure transparency and accountability throughout the course of the investigation into this reprehensible event.’
Conservatives have largely seen the shooting as self-defense on Ross’ part.
Vice President JD Vance said that the newly-released footage of the Minnesota shooting proves Ross ‘fired in self-defense.’
The crystal-clear picture shot from Ross’ phone obtained by Minnesota outlet Alpha News illustrates the moments leading up to the killing of Renee Nicole Good.
The vice president wrote on X after seeing the footage: ‘Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn’t hit by a car, wasn’t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman,’ he said.

‘The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self-defense.’
Vance has been vocal in his defense of federal law enforcement in the wake of the shooting, whereas Trump has largely stayed out of the fray following an initial Truth Social post and commenting in a New York Times interview.
He again slammed the mainstream media for its portrayal of the ICE officer as a ruthless killer.
‘What the press has done in lying about this innocent law enforcement officer is disgusting. You should all be ashamed of yourselves,’ he added in response to the new clip.
He said that ‘if you want to say this woman’s death is a tragedy, that we should pray for her soul as Christians and Americans, then I agree with you,’ but that the media’s takedown of Ross has been ‘an all-time moment in shameless press propaganda.’
Vance previously called on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to ‘work even harder’ after the shooting.

Protests have sprung up across the country following the death of Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday, but Vance said he, President Trump ‘and the entire administration’ stands behind ICE officers.
