Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny surprised the world this Sunday during his speech at the Grammy Awards 2026 by attacking the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the current immigration policies of the United States. Before thanking God for his award for Best Urban Music Album, Bad Bunny forcefully said “ICE out,” causing a standing ovation from the attendees. “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are humans and we are Americans,” the artist affirmed while defending the dignity of immigrants. The performer of “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” also urged to combat hate with love, highlighting that “the only thing more powerful than hate is love,” and extended his message towards empathy and unity, especially amidst the current political tension in the United States. During his intervention at the Grammy Awards, Bad Bunny emphasized that immigrants should not be dehumanized or treated as “extraterrestrials,” in the midst of a public context of conversations about ICE actions and federal immigration policies. The moment resonated with other gestures from figures present at the gala, some wearing pins or messages of solidarity with immigrants, while criticism and political activism mixed with the musical celebration. His speech came at a time marked by debates on immigration and protests in the United States, which amplified the media attention to his words and their cultural impact.
