Grammy Awards: Winners Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish slam ICE
"Criticism of the Trump administration's anti-migration stance flooded the 68th Grammy Award ceremony on Sunday, which saw winners including Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish and Olivia Dean address the ongoing immigration crackdown in acceptance speeches. The award ceremony was airing live from Los Angeles, hosted by Trevor Noah, who joked that the awards were coming to viewers "completely live" because "if we edited any of the show, the president would sue CBS for $16 billion." Last summer, US President Donald Trump won a $16 million (roughly 13.48 million) settlement from Paramount over a "60 Minutes" interview he claimed was edited for Kamala Harris' favor."
