Fans of Taylor Swift have been shocked after it emerged that a contractor for the controversial Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) was in attendance at her wedding.

...

It appears that Steven J. Demetriou, the Executive Chair of a company called Amentum Services was also among the crowd gathered to see the happy couple say ‘I do.’

Amentum Services is currently the sole contractor for ICE’s Camp East Montana, a detention centre in El Paso.

The artist has faced swift backlash for her choice of guests, including online commenters who have shared their dismay on social media.

She's an evil billionaire. No billionaires are good people

Sorry, the good Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Because she's DEAD!

Taylor Swift is a billionaire. Those who had the illusion that a billionaire can be anything other than a disgusting member of the unelected ruling elite just got a reality check.

"followers of billionaire shocked to find out billionaires act like billionaires, don't care about fans opinions"

You CANNOT be a billionaire AND a good person. The two are not compatible. If you were a truly good and decent person who cares about others, you WOULDN'T BE A BILLIONAIRE

If I were a billionaire my job would quickly be to find good ways to give away my money. Cancer research, paying for school lunches, fund libraries, found some sort of institution that makes life better for people.

Yep. That's exactly what Mackenzie Scott (Bezos' ex-wife) did when she got her divorce settlement, got busy giving it all away. More power to her.

Yes, but you would've started doing this long before you became a billionaire, which would've precluded you becoming a billionaire in the first place. Unless you had a change of heart after being visited by three ghosts or something like that.

I think Stoly is more implying an incredibly unlikely event in that they are suddenly in possession of a billion dollars, kinda like the Adam Sandler movie "Mr Deeds"

That is correct and very charitable on your part. There is a way in which sometimes the machine starts churning and suddenly the person is a billionaire.
