She continued, “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land. And, yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter. F–k ICE. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much.”
The “F–k ICE” moment was silenced by the censors.
Billie was joined by her boyfriend, a popular former Nickelodeon actor, inside the arena.
