"No one is illegal on stolen land... It's just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. 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, and fuck ICE is all I want to say, sorry."The "fuck ICE" part was bleeped on the CBS broadcast, but the crowd cheered loudly. She and Finneas wore "ICE Out" pins on the red carpet, tying into broader criticism of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies, especially amid recent events like immigration raids and related controversies.Austin's reaction video became a flashpoint in the culture-war divide over politicizing awards shows, with some praising her for calling out what they saw as performative activism, while far more online backlash portrayed her as out of touch or overly triggered. The post remains one of the most talked-about moments from the 2026 Grammys online.
