Cardi B has become the latest celeb to publicly condemn ICE as Trump and his immigration plans continue to cause controversy in the US.
From music stars to Hollywood actors, dozens of famous faces have been speaking out against ICE recently, with a lot of people using the recent Grammy Awards as a platform to address such matters.
One person was Kehlani, who told the audience while receiving her award for Best R&B Performance: "Everybody is so powerful in this room and in this room later, together we’re stronger in numbers to speak against the injustice going on in the world right now.
"So instead of letting it be just a couple of you here and there, I hope everyone’s inspired to join together as a community of artists and speak out against what is going on and imma leave this and say 'f**k ICE."

Now Cardi B, who was recently on stage during Bad Bunny's history-making Super Bowl performance, has echoed similar sentiments on the first night of her 'Little Miss Drama' tour in a video that's doing the rounds online.
She said: "B*tch, if ICE come up in here we gonna jump their a**es."
"They ain’t takin my fans, b*tch. Let’s go," the rapper added.
Her remarks were met with screams of approval from the crowd before she broke into her hit track 'I Like It' - which has a lot of Latin music influences in it which was co-written with Bad Bunny.
People have since reacted to now-viral moment of Cardi and applauded her for what she said.
Somebody wrote: "Cardi B using her first arena tour to take a stand against ICE is why she’s untouchable. While other artists play it safe, Cardi is out here promising to ‘jump’ anyone trying to take her fans."
Warning: The video contains strong language
"It’s that real talk energy that fans love about her," said another.
"This is exactly why her fanbase is so loyal. She doesn't just perform," added a third person.
Others noted that her viewpoint is very different to that of rap competitor Nicki Minaj's, who has been voicing her support for President Trump recently. Her relationship with the POTUS has sparked backlash for the 'Starships' singer.
Speaking on The Katie Miller Podcast, Minaj was asked what made her support Trump.
"Religious freedom is something that's very important to me," Minaj replied. "But if I'm being honest, President Trump, because when I saw how he was being treated over and over and over, I just couldn't handle it."
