"And f--- ICE, that's all I'm gonna say, sorry," she added.
Leavitt continued Tuesday that celebrities were notably silent under the Biden administration, despite a spiraling immigration crisis and high-profile crimes such as the murders of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray at the hands of illegal immigrants.

"Now you have law enforcement who are simply trying to do their jobs to remove violent predators like those who took the lives of innocent Americans. There was no uproar from Hollywood and the elitist crowd at the Grammys then. But there is now, and I think that speaks to the unfortunate irony that we're seeing in Hollywood."
Democrats and celebrities have increasingly spoken out against the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigrants in recent weeks, most notably since the start of the new year when federal law enforcement converged on Minnesota's Twin Cities amid a sweeping fraud investigation.

Two Americans were shot and killed by federal law enforcement in separate events in January, heightening condemnation from Trump critics who described the deaths as "murder" at the hands of the government.
Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem also previously responded to anti-ICE rhetoric from celebrities at the Grammys, telling Fox News Digital Monday that she wished they knew "what wonderful, amazing people our ICE officers are."

"Their families live there and that’s their neighbors they are protecting by getting dangerous criminals off the streets," Noem continued. "They are going after those murderers and rapists, people that are trafficking drugs, and protecting America."
