Katy Perry Posts Anti-Ice Call-To-Action

Katy Perry threw herself into the immigration debate by asking fans to take political action to stop the funding of U.S. Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement (ICE).

The famous singer appealed to her 201 million Instagram followers Jan. 26 with a call to action, asking them to contact their U.S. Senators to try and put an end to ICE’s funding. Perry armed fans with the phone number to the Senate switchboard.

“We have until Friday, January 30th to block $10 billion (on top of the $75B that’s already been funded) from going through to ICE,” she wrote.

Perry shared a total of six slides, the last of which was a pre-written letter making it easy for her fans to join the movement by simply filling in a few blanks.

“WHO: YOU, THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS,” Perry wrote in all caps in the first slide.

The second slide, also written in caps, asserted her message, “WHAT: CALL YOUR SENATORS.”

Her post was in response to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill that has a Jan. 30 deadline to pass, legislation that has come under attack by Democrats after the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Both were killed in the month of January amid heated protests and clashes with federal immigration authorities. (RELATED: Ellen DeGeneres Fires Off Tone-Deaf, Self-Indulgent Minneapolis Post)

The bill would secure approximately $10 billion in funding for ICE through the 2026 fiscal year, according to Politico. A Republican source said ICE would retain approximately $75 billion in previously set funding even in a government shutdown thanks to the “Big Beautiful Bill,” NBC News reported.

Perry turned off the comments on her Instagram post, but managed to amass over 90,000 likes within approximately 5 hours of sharing her social media post.
