Singer Billie Eilish is breaking her silence after the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Federal Border Patrol agents.
The celeb made it a point to share that it's appalling how so many other celebs are staying silent on the matter, adding how the US is certainly not what it used to be.
Eilish shared her thoughts through social media, highlighting her mega frustration with influencers in general who focus more on entertainment while ignoring serious social issues.
The star's comments reflect her belief that public figures need to step up their game and take more responsibility to address matters like injustice and use their platforms to support change when communities are hurting this badly.
The controversy stems from the recent death of a man by federal immigration agents, which was an incident that has intensified debate over the practices used by law enforcement agents in the country. Her brother also shared similarly strong reactions online.
