Finneas is standing up for what he believes in.
Billie Eilish‘s older sibling claimed to have experienced a violent confrontation with law enforcement during the protests against ICE raids in the greater Los Angeles area on June 8th.
Finneas posted on Instagram Stories the same day, saying he was quickly exposed to tear gas during a tranquil demonstration in the city center. He implied they were provoking this situation.
A short while later, the Grammy-winning artist shared another post on his Instagram Stories, this time criticizing the institution responsible for the raids, bluntly saying, “ICE sucks.

Finneas is one of several celebrities voicing disapproval towards the raids. Notably, Hilary Duff, who has children Banks (age 6), Mae (age 4), and Townes (13 months) with her husband Matthew Koma, as well as Luca (age 13) with her former spouse Mike Comrie, shared a post that echoed the sentiments she and the protesters have been standing up against.

It’s not right for kids to return home to an empty house because their caretakers have been taken away. It’s unacceptable to apprehend law-abiding individuals during their immigration hearing. Let’s not accept this as the norm. Let’s not avert our eyes. Let’s not remain silent about it.
Meanwhile, stars such as Florence Pugh and Gracie Abrams persisted in sharing resources and re-posting messages of encouragement on their individual platforms. However, Eva Longoria expressed her stance on June 8 via Instagram Stories, labeling the raids as “Un-American.
