Lady Gaga Takes a Stand at the Mayhem Ball

In an electrifying moment at the Mayhem Ball in Tokyo, Japan, pop sensation Lady Gaga took a bold stand against the actions of ICE. Addressing her fans with heartfelt conviction, she shared, “I want to take a second to talk about something that is extremely important to me. It breaks my heart to think of the people, children, and entire families of America being mercilessly targeted by ICE." This powerful declaration, as reported by Variety, resonated deeply with the audience.

“When entire communities lose their sense of safety and belonging, something breaks in all of us,” Gaga expressed, drawing attention to the recent killing of nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. "My thoughts also go out to Minnesota and all those living in fear searching for answers about what we should do."

Gaga's Plea for Compassion and Change

Gaga dedicated her performance of "Come to Mama" from her "Joanne" album to those feeling isolated and grieving. She called for a return to "a place of safety, peace, and responsibility," emphasizing that "good people shouldn't have to fight so hard and risk their lives for well-being and respect." Gaga's hope is that leaders will heed this call for compassion, adding, "In a time when it doesn't seem easy to have hope, it's my community, my friends, my family who support me."

Hollywood Unites Against ICE

Gaga joins a chorus of Hollywood voices speaking out against ICE, alongside stars like Mark Ruffalo, Pedro Pascal, Jamie Lee Curtis, Olivia Wilde, Bella Hadid, and Natalie Portman. This collective outcry highlights the entertainment community's commitment to advocating for change and supporting those affected by ICE actions.

This wave of celebrity activism underscores a growing sentiment in the public sphere, a call for humanity and justice that echoes from the red carpets of Hollywood to concert stages around the globe.
