Katy Perry is using her influence to urge Americans to take action against United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The 41-year-old pop star took to Instagram on Monday – two days after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis – to share a call to action with her 201 million followers.
'Turn anger into ACTION,' she wrote in the caption of a post featuring six slides asking people to call their senators.
Her message was typed out in capital white letters set against a red background, with the first note reading, 'Who: You, the power is in your hands.' Another read, 'What: Call your senators.'
The third slide explained, 'We have until Friday, January 30th to block $10 billion (on top of the $75B that's already been funded) from going through to ICE.'
'Where: Call (202) 224-3121,' she wrote before adding, 'Why: Because it's time to turn anger into action.'
This comes amid Perry's ongoing romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 54.

The singer included a script for the phone call to senators, which outlined 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 their vehicles, blinded by munitions, and getting shot and killed by ICE.'
The letter continued, 'We will be watching your vote – and we will remember.'
It ended urging the senator to 'please do the right thing.'
The post has so far received more than 100,000 likes but the comments were disabled.
