Pop star Lizzo was dismissed from jury duty in Los Angeles for expressing anti-ICE views while being considered for a case about an assault on a federal immigration enforcement agent, The Post has learned.
The R&B singer — who posted on Instagram about her outfit during the trip to federal court — acknowledged to prosecutors that she could be “neither fair nor impartial” hearing a trial of a man accused of assaulting an ICE agent, a spokesman for the US Attorney’s Officer said.
The Grammy winner had been considered for the case of Luis Dalhet Hipolito, who was charged with a felony count of assault on a federal officer resulting in bodily injury.
Prosecutors said Hipolito hit an ICE agent in the face during a June immigration enforcement action in Los Angeles, breaking the agent’s glasses and cutting his face. He was acquitted of the charges on Wednesday.
On Instagram, Lizzo shared a post to her nearly 11.5 million followers showing off her “jury duty fit” from what looked to be a courthouse bathroom, as well as a photo of her posing in front of the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.
“OK, the jacket is Saint Laurent, the top is Yitty, the pants are custom Sami Miro, the necklace is Chanel, and the shoes are Louis Vuitton,” she said in the clip.

The musician, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, has been an outspoken critic of ICE.
In a video posted in January to her social media accounts, she addressed political upheaval around immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis, where she lived for roughly six years starting around 2011.
“My heart goes out to Minneapolis,” said Lizzo, as she choked back tears on the video.
“In the years that I lived there, whether it was Philando Castile, whether it was Jamar Clark, whether it was George Floyd, this seems to happen — the injustice happens there,” she added. “If I find more ways to help, I will be sharing them.”
Reps for Lizzo didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
