Friday, January 30, 2026 - Lady Gaga has criticised U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a concert in Tokyo, condemning what she described as the agency’s “merciless” treatment of families amid ongoing immigration raids in the United States.
The singer made the remarks while performing at her Mayhem
Ball tour, pausing her set to address the situation back home. Gaga said her
heart was “aching” for families affected by immigration enforcement actions and
for communities living in fear.
“I’m thinking about all of their pain and how their lives
are being destroyed right in front of us,” she said, referencing Minnesota and
other parts of the United States where residents are searching for answers amid
heightened enforcement activity.
She added that when entire communities lose their sense of
safety and belonging, “it breaks something in all of us,” and urged her
audience to stand in solidarity with those affected, even from across the
world.
Although acknowledging that she was not currently in the
United States, Gaga said she felt it was important to speak out and called on
American leaders to change course and show mercy.
Following her remarks, she performed her song Come to Mama,
which she described as carrying a hopeful message.
Her comments come amid controversy surrounding recent
incidents in Minnesota, where two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good,
were shot and killed by federal immigration agents earlier this month.
Authorities subsequently labelled both individuals domestic terrorists, a move
that has drawn public criticism and intensified debate over ICE operations.
