Trigger Warning: This article contains some discussion of sexual assault.
Ariana Madix recently used her platform to call out ICE, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. As we’ve all seen, American citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti were recently killed by the hands of these “agents.” While certain outlets tried to spin the narrative, Ariana trusted her eyes instead, since there were countless videos online that detailed both deaths. So now, cue this Vanderpump Rules alum, taking a stand against ICE.
Ariana Madix calls for the government to abolish ICE
Ariana’s not usually a clickbaiting kind of gal. But as she understands, big teases bring in the crowds. And since MANY eyes are needed on ICE, Ariana decided to take a break from her typical manner of fascism fighting, meaning, the reposting of stories about ICE, so that she could properly play this game after all.
“The real reason I didn’t return to Bravo will shock you,” Ariana penned over a selfie. And then, she inserted an arrow, urging her massive platform to take a peek into her teased reveal. Further making her clickbait look legit, Ariana penned, “people don’t believe me when I tell them” as her caption. Further, she tagged Preston Mitchum, a Black, queer attorney, advocate, and activist, thanking him “for inspiring me.”
As soon as readers clicked on her arrow, however, Ariana’s real message appeared. “ABOLISH ICE,” the first page reads. Underneath, the passage said, “A study analyzing ICE facility significant incident reports from September 2018 to April 2022 found 922 allegations of sexual assault by ICE and border patrol agents.” Furthermore, “at least 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025, and 5 have already died this year.”
In her remaining slides, Ariana shared helpful tips for “identifying ICE” agents. She also included a script for her followers to use with their state-assigned senators, alongside a “know your rights” section.
Vanderpump Rules airs every Tuesday at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams the following day on Peacock.
