Australian activist Drew Pavlou was deported from the U.S. after a 30-hour detention over satirical social media posts.
Australian activist Drew Pavlou was denied entry and deported from the U.S. in February 2026 after a 30-hour detention at LAX, where he claimed he was questioned over satirical social media posts about moving into Billie Eilish’s former Malibu home.
Pavlou said his posts were performance art in response to Eilish’s 2026 Grammy speech criticizing ICE, but immigration officials reportedly cited concerns over potential immigration violations.
He alleged Eilish’s legal team contacted authorities, though no evidence supports this.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not disclose the official reason for his denial, but emphasized broad discretion in border decisions.
The incident sparked debate over online speech, satire, and immigration enforcement, with no official confirmation of the allegations.
