Zara Larsson Escalates ICE Critique, Cites Boyfriend’s U.S. Ban Over Marijuana

She says a past marijuana offense keeps her partner from visiting the U.S., which she cites as the reason for her broader critique of ICE.

Overview

  • Larsson posted Instagram stories saying she loves immigrants and even “criminals” and wrote that she “f***ing hate[s] ICE,” linking the stance to her partner’s case.
  • She identified the partner as Swedish dancer Lamin Holmén and said an old marijuana offense, which she claims is no longer on his record, still bars him from entering the United States.
  • The singer wrote that the policy forces the couple to spend months apart and argued that nonviolent drug convictions disproportionately harm Black and brown people.
  • In additional posts, she said she would rather have “someone smoking crack” on her couch than an ICE agent and accused agents of violence, toxic masculinity and white supremacy.
  • Her comments circulated widely as protests continued over the ICE agent’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, drawing sharply divided reactions online without reported institutional penalties.
