Ariana Grande calls out Trump’s criminal record in anti-ICE repost

 Ariana Grande has once again used her platform to weigh in on U.S. politics, resharing a viral post to her Instagram Story that criticizes former President Donald Trump and U.S. immigration policy.

The quote, which quickly spread across social media, reads:
“Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected president? It’s so confusing.”

The pop superstar did not add commentary to the post, but her decision to amplify it speaks volumes, especially amid renewed public outcry over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and growing scrutiny of Trump’s legal battles.

Grande’s reposting comes at a time when celebrity political engagement is more visible than ever. Known for her activism, Grande has previously encouraged voter turnout, spoken on LGBTQ+ rights, and voiced concern over racial injustice. Her latest post continues a pattern of using her massive following—over 380 million on Instagram—to spotlight political inconsistencies.The message resonated with thousands online, drawing praise from fans and activists alike.

The post indirectly contrasts the criminalization of undocumented immigrants with the political survival of figures like Trump, who continues to campaign despite facing multiple indictments.

Whether intentional or not, Grande’s post has reignited debates about justice, accountability, and privilege in the U.S. legal system—raising questions far beyond the confines of pop culture.
