Eilish proclaimed \u201cno one is illegal on stolen land\u201d and shouted \u201cF-ck ICE\u201d during her acceptance speech, while the article notes she has long called on the government to protect her property and previously obtained a restraining order against a stalker who threatened her family.The author contends that if the principle \u201cno one is illegal\u201d were universal, the stalker at her gate wouldn\u2019t have been treated as trespassing, highlighting a double standard: borders are essential for her personal safety, even as she questions them publicly. It points out that the government did enforce protections around her home,illustrating the inconsistency between her public stance and private security needs. The piece is written by Brianna Lyman,an elections correspondent for The Federalist.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n2UnPnOYHNM\">  Recording Academy\/Grammys\/Youtube <\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/02\/billie-eilish-wants-the-government-to-protect-her-home-from-invaders-but-not-yours\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Billie%20Eilish%20Wants%20The%20Government%20To%20Protect%20Her%20Home%20From%20Invaders%20But%20Not%20Yours&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/02\/billie-eilish-wants-the-government-to-protect-her-home-from-invaders-but-not-yours\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Billie%20Eilish%20Wants%20The%20Government%20To%20Protect%20Her%20Home%20From%20Invaders%20But%20Not%20Yours&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/02\/billie-eilish-wants-the-government-to-protect-her-home-from-invaders-but-not-yours\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/02\/billie-eilish-wants-the-government-to-protect-her-home-from-invaders-but-not-yours\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Billie%20Eilish%20Wants%20The%20Government%20To%20Protect%20Her%20Home%20From%20Invaders%20But%20Not%20Yours&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/02\/billie-eilish-wants-the-government-to-protect-her-home-from-invaders-but-not-yours\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The biggest winner of Billie Eilish&rsquo;s award-winning weekend at the Grammys might be her stalker.

Which is awkward considering Eilish has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stunning-reddit-shuts-down-wallstreetbets-subgroup-blames-racism-and-hate-speech-after-rookie-investors-in-general-public-make-money-causing-hedge-funds-to-go-bust\/\" title=\"STUNNING: Reddit Shuts Down WallStreetBets Subgroup \u2014 Blames Racism and Hate Speech \u2014 After Rookie Investors in General Public Make Money Causing Hedge Funds to Go Bust\">spent years begging<\/a> the government to protect her own personal property, enforce its border, and make clear that she believes <em>some<\/em> people are actually not allowed to cross certain boundaries. <\/p>\n<p>Eilish obtained a restraining order in 2023 against 53-year-old Shawn Christopher McIntyre, who, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/story\/2023-11-16\/billie-eilish-restraining-order-stalker-threats-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Los Angeles Times<\/a>, had &ldquo;been sending hundreds of messages via social media to her and her family since September.&rdquo; The messages reportedly contained violent threats and disturbing messages.<\/p>\n<p>Eilish reportedly &ldquo;suffered substantial anxiety, fear and emotional distress over her personal safety and the safety of her family and friends.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In one instance, according to the report, Eilish observed the stalker &ldquo;sitting down in front of the gate of my residence.&rdquo; (The gate, also known as a physical structure meant to keep people out, is &hellip; almost like a &hellip; border.)<\/p>\n<p>When an uninvited person crossed the boundary of Eilish&rsquo;s property, Eilish didn&rsquo;t reflect on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >historical land disputes<\/a>. She didn&rsquo;t suggest that property lines are a tool to steal land from others. She didn&rsquo;t argue that no one is illegal. She went to court, and she asked the government to step in and protect her, to decide that someone&rsquo;s presence within 100 yards of her home was unacceptable and illegal.<\/p>\n<p>The government did exactly that, which isn&rsquo;t unusual. But the debacle exposes Eilish&rsquo;s hypocrisy. When <em>her<\/em> safety is on the line, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tyrants-need-buffers-china-is-not-a-monolith-thats-an-opportunity-for-the-west\/\" title=\"Tyrants need buffers: China is not a monolith. That\u2019s an opportunity for the West.\">borders aren&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t just &ldquo;illegal&rdquo; ideas; they&rsquo;re essential. Enforcement of those borders isn&rsquo;t met with &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vagrants-block-federalists-office-as-journos-dismiss-crime-in-dc\/\" title=\"Vagrants Block ...&#039;s Office As Journos Dismiss Crime In DC\">f-ck&#038;rdquo<\/a>; said enforcement; it&rsquo;s welcomed. When it&rsquo;s Eilish&rsquo;s home and gate and the surrounding area, she&rsquo;s suddenly very comfortable with physical boundaries and extremely enthusiastic about enforcing them.<\/p>\n<p>But Eilish&rsquo;s own words at the Grammys ruin the logic that justified her restraining order. If no one is illegal on stolen land, then the man at her gate wasn&rsquo;t trespassing. He was simply existing in a space that apparently no one has the authority to restrict.<\/p>\n<p>Of course Eilish doesn&rsquo;t actually believe that though. Her gate proves it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
