    The singer uploaded a series of Instagram stories on Saturday (January 10) about the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is facing mass criticism after a Minnesota woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent earlier this week.

    “I love immigrants, I love criminals, I love trans people, I love abortions, I love queers, I love slutty women, I love contraception, I love welfare, I love socialism, I fucking hate ICE,” she wrote.

    In a follow-up story, she then addressed DMs she’d received asking how she could announce her love for criminals.

    “The reason why my sweet, smart, generous, talented, thoughtful man can’t come to the US – AT ALL – to visit me ever since we got together 6 years ago is because he has a criminal record,” she wrote. “Guess for what? WEED! Hahahahaha like?? Who gives a fucking fuck?!?”

    Larsson is dating Swedish dancer Lamin Holmén, and went on to clarify that he doesn’t have a criminal record anymore, as it’s been “so long since he smoked that spliff that it’s officially gone from his name and he still can’t get in”.

    She continued to write that it was frustrating to see people go to jail over non-violent crimes, alleging that it ends up being “black and brown people” who get arrested the most frequently.

    “Idk about yall but I’d rather have someone smoking crack on my couch than a fucking ICE agent ewwwwwwwww. They’re criminals too. Killing, kidnapping, violent, hateful ones,” she added.

    Larsson then concluded, writing: “So maybe not love ICE… but love the child they used to be that still lives inside of them somewhere. We can people. I believe that. I have to believe that. Fuck ICE.”
