“You don’t get to call yourself a Christian and then advocate and fucking laugh when families are torn apart outside of courthouses, when people [are] trying to come here the right ways,” singer Bryan Andrews told his over 500,000 followers on Instagram last week in a self-described “crash out.”  View this photo on Instagram

“You don’t get to call yourself a Christian, and then think it’s OK that the highest court in the fucking land just gave a green light to ICE agents to be able to fucking target people because they are brown or speaking Spanish,” Andrews said in his video. Bryan Andrews Music / Via tiktok.com
ICE has come under heightened scrutiny amid Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown in his second term. Earlier this month, residents of a Chicago apartment building described a harrowing raid that involved children being dragged out of their homes in the middle of the night without clothes. Last month, the Supreme Court effectively rubber-stamped racial profiling by ICE in Los Angeles. Mathieu Lewis-Rolland / Getty Images
Despite public backlash, the Trump administration continues to flaunt its authority online, including in bizarre social media posts. DHS on X

“I admire your values and your courage. But it’s a lot easer to have courage when are standing with the TRUTH and it’s right there next to you. You are leading the way,” the Task star continued. Stephanie Augello / Getty Images

“When you’re laying in bed at night and you’re scrolling on your phone, and you see the same videos that I see, do you not think to yourself, ‘Damn, there’s got to be a better way that we can fucking do this?’” Andrews said. “Have we really become this numb to treating human fucking beings like this?” @bryanandrewsmusic / Via instagram.com
