Zara Larsson Denounces ICE, Says Boyfriend’s Old Weed Conviction Bars U.S. Entry

The singer said her view stems from U.S. rules that punish nonviolent drug records in immigration decisions.

Overview

  • Larsson posted Instagram stories declaring support for progressive causes and wrote that she hates ICE.
  • In a follow-up, she said her remark about loving “criminals” referred to her partner, Lamin Holmén, whom she says cannot enter the United States due to an old marijuana case.
  • She wrote that the offense is years old and the record is now cleared, yet he still cannot visit, forcing the couple to spend long stretches apart.
  • Her posts criticized U.S. drug and immigration policies and argued they disproportionately harm Black and Brown communities, invoking Reagan-era policies.
  • She characterized some ICE agents as “criminals too,” and online reaction ranged from support to sharp criticism, with no official response reported.
