Most recently, during his Grammy Awards acceptance speech earlier this month, Bad Bunny again criticized immigration enforcement and delivered an “ICE out” message, saying, “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."

The remarks added to ongoing debate over his political messaging as he prepares to take one of the biggest stages in American entertainment.
