Billie Eilish criticized the Trump administration and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in an acceptance speech over the weekend.

The singer was in Atlanta to receive an award given to people or organizations that fight for environmental justice.

"It feels strange to be celebrated for justice at a time when it feels more out of reach than ever. We see our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being beaten and murdered, and our rights being taken away from us," Eilish said.

Billie Eilish said she did not feel worthy of the award but also criticized the Trump administration for opposing climate action.

Shortly after 37-year-old Renee Good was killed in Minneapolis, Eilish called ICE "a federally funded terrorist group" on social media.
