Drew PavloThe 24-year-old political activist and influencer who launched a crowdfunding campaign to fly to the United States and move into Billie Eilish’s Los Angeles mansion now says the singer contacted the Department of Homeland Security and deported him.
The Australian man, who launched the campaign while calling out Eilish for her anti-ICE rhetoric at the Grammys, said in the X post that authorities’ refusal to listen to his post was a “joke.”
“Billie Eilish had me deported from the US – I think her legal team contacted the Department of Homeland Security,” Pavlo wrote on X, sharing a selfie with a police officer in the background. “I spent 30 hours at LAX immigration trying to explain that my trash post was just a joke and that I wasn’t actually planning to move into her mansion myself.”

“Honestly, most agents are nice enough to scoff at the idea, but there’s nothing I can do about it, and maybe evil leftists still control every part of the bureaucracy,” he continued. “I think some people are actually on stolen land illegally.”
Pavlo added, “I guess I’m just a bad person… I’m honestly one of the most misunderstood theorists/artists of the 21st century.”
