'Green Day' frontman Billie Joe Armstrong blasts ICE agents at Super Bowl party

WASHINGTON, DC: 'Green Day' lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong delivered a blistering denunciation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday night, February 6, urging agents to abandon their jobs and warning that President Donald Trump's administration would eventually discard them anyway.

Speaking at a pre–Super Bowl party, Armstrong addressed ICE agents directly from the stage.

“To all the ICE agents out there, wherever you are,” Armstrong said. “Quit your sh**y-a**s job. Quit that sh**y job you have.”

The remarks came as the band prepared for one of the largest television audiences of the year.

Billie Armstrong names Trump and Kristi Noem in his anti-ICE remarks 

Armstrong, 53, escalated his comments by naming top Trump administration figures and allies, warning ICE agents that their loyalty would not be rewarded in the long run.

“Because when this is over, and it will be over at some point in time - Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump, they’re gonna drop you like a bad f****ng habit,” he said. “Come on over to this side of the line.”

The remarks drew loud reactions from the crowd at the event, hosted by Spotify and FanDuel at San Francisco’s Pier 29, a short distance from the East Bay neighborhoods where 'Green Day' was first formed.

'Green Day' lyrics rewritten to take aim at Trump

Armstrong’s comments were consistent with 'Green Day’s' long-standing practice of weaving contemporary political criticism into live performances. According to Variety, the band also altered their lyrics during the set to reference current controversies.

In the song 'Holiday', the lyric “the representative from California has the floor” was changed to “the representative from Epstein Island has the floor,” drawing a pointed and controversial comparison.

Armstrong also tweaked lines in 'American Idiot', declaring that he was not part of the “MAGA agenda,” a lyric change he had incorporated into his performances for several years.

Shout-out to Minneapolis amid protests

During the set, Armstrong gave a shout-out to Minneapolis, which has seen repeated protests in recent weeks following the fatal shootings of citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents.

The incidents have intensified scrutiny of ICE operations and fueled broader demonstrations against immigration enforcement nationwide.

Friday’s outburst was far from Armstrong’s first public clash with Trump and his movement. He has been openly critical of the president for years, calling it “sad” when Trump first took office in 2017.

Last year, Armstrong led a crowd in Belgium in a chant of “F**k Donald Trump” during a July Fourth performance, reinforcing his reputation as one of rock music’s most outspoken political voices.

'Green Day' is scheduled to perform during the Super Bowl LX pre-game on Sunday. 

The halftime show will feature Bad Bunny, who also used a major entertainment platform to criticize ICE.

At last week’s Grammy Awards, the global superstar made pointed remarks condemning immigration enforcement practices and expressing solidarity with immigrant communities, drawing applause from fans and adding to a growing wave of artist-led political statements.
