In a post shared earlier this week, the 41-year-old pop star took a stand against ICE in the wake of the fatal shooting of ICE nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents.

The Instagram slideshow, shared with her more than 200 million followers, reminded Americans that "the power is in your hands."

It continued on to urge people to call their Senators and encourage them to block $10 billion in funding to ICE, citing a January 30 deadline.

The post featured a script for Americans to use when calling the number listed and asking to speak to their Senator, saying in part, "I'm calling to urge you to filibuster the upcoming Homeland Security appropriations bill."

"I'm sick of watching lawful citizens and noncitizens being arrested at their jobs, assaulted at peaceful protests, pulled out of vehicles, blinded by munitions, and getting shot and killed by ICE."

The California Girls singer added in the caption, "turn anger into ACTION."

Katy is just the latest A-lister to speak out against the Trump administration's aggressive immigration raids.

Following Pretti's death on Saturday – the second time a US citizen was fatally shot by federal agents in Minnesota this month – celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and more condemned the brutality in social media posts of their own.
