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.
