Billie Eilish Faces Calls to Return Her $3 Million Mansion to Native Tribe or House Migrants after Grammys Anti-ICE Declaration That “No One is Illegal on Stolen Land”
Pop star Billie Eilish has faced calls to return her $3 million Los Angeles mansion to a Native American tribe or welcome migrants inside following her Grammys anti-ICE declaration that “no one is illegal on stolen land”. The Mail has the story.
The 24 year-old singer won a Grammy for her hit song ‘Wildflower’ on Sunday, but it was her acceptance speech that got the country talking.
“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,” Eilish said, referencing the colonisation of the Americas by Europeans.
As she stood alongside her brother Finneas, who co-wrote and produced the song, Eilish continued to address the ongoing immigration raids going on across the US.
“It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I just 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,” she said.
She concluded her brief but impassioned speech by shouting, “And f*** ICE, that’s all I’m gonna say. Sorry!”
Her comments had many in the crowd cheering her on, but people online quickly dug up an interesting fact about the singer’s home.
Political commentator Eric Daugherty, along with others, quickly uncovered that Eilish’s lavish mansion is located on land that belongs to the Tongva tribe – the indigenous people of the greater Los Angeles Basin.
“She could also graciously host illegal aliens in her mansion. After all, she has the moral high ground. Put up or shut the F up,” he said on X.
When contacted by the Daily Mail, a spokesperson for the Tongva tribe confirmed the singer’s home does in fact sit on its “ancestral land”. …
Other users quickly agreed with Daugherty, as one wrote: “It’s time for all these hypocritical Hollywood elites to do what they’re telling average American citizens to do. If they can preach it, they need to live by their words!”
Another added: “They’re always contradicting themselves in Hollywood.”
“Oh, the hypocrisy,” someone else chimed in.
Eilish made her anti-ICE statement as stars like Joni Mitchell, Kehlani, and even Justin and Hailey Bieber wore “ICE OUT” pins in protest of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies.

I blame Bob Geldorf.
He started the virtue signalling of pop artists on a mass scale.
It felt like a good noble thing at the time. But then so does every socialist, do-good project. Even if it starts that way it never stays that way for long.
20 iterations later and you have this airhead lecturing the world.
You mean Bob isn’t an airhead?
And Bonio from U2.
Gary Delaney joke
I know 2 lawyers, one is pro bono, the other thinks he’s a pretentious tw@t
Air is useful, if not essential, she isn’t. She obviously only has a resonating space where her brain ought to be.
Well her middle name is Pirate.
Repellent, no time for these people. Separate your politics (which I have no interest in) from your music (which I probably don’t have an interest in).

Conquering a territory is not stealing it. The former is an act of war widely considered to be perfectly acceptable until the League of Nations/ United Nations nonsense got started. The latter is a crime because there’ll usually be some lawful authority which declared it so within its jurisdiction. The same lawful authority might also have issued laws on entering its jurisdiction and people who don’t obey them act illegally as well. People within this jurisdictions don’t get to chose which laws they accept. A better course of action would thus be: Undress the young lady, take away whatever else she carries or whatever others brought there on her behalf, strip her of the title for her mansion and confiscate whatever other property she believes to own. And then bid her go. If her legal theory is that picking-and-chosing laws according to one’s one liking is ok, there’s no reason why people just shouldn’t ignore US property laws insofar it’s legally her property. In case she objects to that, explain to her that she has exactly the same political rights wrt getting laws changed as any other US citizen and if a majority of voters don’t share her political opinions… Read more »
The problem is, that’s what’s happening to us right now…
Standard behaviour from these types who have at best, a naive, Student Union-esque, idealist interpretation of the world.
The ideals they champion don’t apply to them, of course, because “it’s a different thing”.
Well done to Eric Daugherty for bringing the Tongva Tribe of California to wider public attention, and to the Daily Mail for actually contacting the tribe to ask their views! Brilliant!
What fun it would be if the Tongva Tribe decided to picket outside Billie Eilish’s mansion gates, demanding their land back. Just like the Chagossians suddenly piped up and helped overturn Stalin Starmer’s treasonous plans.
Is the UK taxpayer still paying Chagos to have the islands, or not any more? I’ve lost track of whether Starmer is flipped or flopped.
He’s flapping, big time.
Good question. The last I heard was that Stalin Starmer actually needs the agreement of the US to violate the US-UK Treaty they signed 60 years ago.
How I laughed! vacuous bint.
If these people want NO BORDERS, then why are they complaining when people arrived in the America’s and Australia to “steal the land”?
Better question: What’s the precise meaning of “stealing land”? It’s not possible to take it away, neither secretly nor openly, and all the land which ever used to be in Australia and America is certainly still there and outside of property laws we’re accustomed to, who ever owned it and why? Another highly interesting question: A lot of German people were forcibly resettled in two large, autonmous reservations for ethnic Germans around the middle of the last century, including German who never had any association with any German state and had been living outside of it for many centuries, eg, the so-called Siebenbürger Sachen or Banater Schwaben. Why’s that ok when forcibly resettling the native Americans a century earlier wasn’t? The answer is that such questions are settled by application of power based on rules people with power made up as it suited them. Ellish et al’s position is basically: Such application of power is fine when we don’t like the people who have to suffer it but absolutey IMMORAL AND REPUGNANT(!!!) when we do like them. They have no moral highground to stand on, they want to use power to make up rules which suit them and decorate these… Read more »
Go to Elish, Billie
“Eilish made her anti-ICE statement as stars like Joni Mitchell, Kehlani, and even Justin and Hailey Bieber wore “ICE OUT” pins in protest of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies.”
All people who will be unaffected by the disaster of mass immigration. Hypocrites all.
