Journalist Emily Austin made her thoughts clear about the standing ovation at the Grammys 2026. At the award ceremony, which was held on February 1, an artist called out ICE, saying “F*ck ICE.” After that, people stood up to give a standing ovation. Austin, who was seated, recorded the scene and said:“Standing ovation for ICE. I am gonna sit down. I am gonna sit down.”She captioned the video on X:“Standing ovation at the Grammys after an artist said “ICE Out” So shameful. We love our law enforcement.”Emily Austin also posted another video in which she mocked Billie Eilish’s criticism of ICE. She captioned the video:“Live reaction to Billie Eilish going on a “F*ck ICE” rant Painful to listen to.”At the ceremony, Bad Bunny took a moment to speak about the ICE operations. He said:“Before I say thanks to God, I am gonna say, ‘ICE out.’ We're not savage. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans. And we are Americans.”Sharing a photo from the Grammys 2026, Emily Austin wrote that the American flag was a symbol of pride and thankfulness, not just something to wear. She explained that she was proud of her country because it gave people freedom. She added that while some people used the moment to create division, she chose to stand confidently for the values she believed made the nation strong.What did Emily Austin say about immigration?During the January 20 episode of The Emily Austin Show, Austin touched upon the issue of immigration. She asked if there was any country that did not limit its immigration, suggesting that everyone had to fill out paperwork to get into another country. Austin said:“For example, I keep talking about Saudi Arabia because there’s so many things that they have, right? I am not saying they are perfect but there’s a lot of things we could take note of from them. The UAE, for example, one of the most perfect countries have ever visited in my life. They don’t allow anyone in their country. There’s a process for immigration.”Austin said that nothing was wrong with legal immigration. However, according to her, it is the Democrats who claim that the present government is anti-immigration. Even she believes that there should be immigration reform. Emily Austin said:“Because what is the harm in knowing who is crossing the border. The problem is they would rather protect these illegal immigrants than their own neighbors and their own neighbors and their own American citizens. All of these people right now that are protesting. ‘Abolish ICE,’ ‘ICE is bad,’ you know, defund the police, how come none of you spoke about Laken Riley?”Emily Austin asked if people cared about human rights. If they did, then it seemed hypocritical abut who’s life mattered. Despite everything, she believed that immigration is about the safety and security of the people.Also Read: Did Hailey Bieber threaten someone to go back to their own country?
