The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has responded to Billie Eilish's comments calling ICE a 'federally funded and supported terrorist group.' Eilish made the comments on her Instagram Story after an ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old US citizen Renee Nicole Good in her car in Minneapolis, MN on Wednesday (Jan. 7).

The comments sparked a wave of outrage and condemnation from the music industry and beyond. Eilish's comments were shared by numerous artists, including Neil Young, who also spoke out against ICE's actions.

The DHS has since responded to Eilish's comments, stating that they will not engage in a 'public debate' with the singer. The agency has also defended its actions, saying that they are 'committed to enforcing our nation's immigration laws in a fair and humane manner.'

The incident has highlighted the growing tensions between the music industry and ICE, with many artists speaking out against the agency's actions. The situation remains ongoing, with Eilish's comments sparking a wider conversation about immigration and policing in the US.
