Renee Rapp unleashes profanity-filled rant against Trump and ICE at Portland concert

PORTLAND, OREGON: Actress and singer Renee Rapp on Monday, October 13, used her Portland concert to fiercely criticize President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a moment met with raucous applause.

Addressing the crowd at Portland’s Moda Center, the pop star launched into an expletive-filled tirade referencing recent ICE raids, declaring, “So let’s just f*****g make it abundantly f*****g clear — F**k ICE. F**k this administration. F**k Trump.”

Rapp tapped into the city’s anti-ICE sentiment, adding, “We are very, very, very excited to be here with you. You’re wonderful. And it just happens that we’re here at the same time some people who shouldn’t f*****g be here are.”

Portland ICE facility protests and federal intervention

For weeks, the ICE facility in Portland has been the site of violent clashes between anti-ICE protesters and police. Camila Wamsley, director of ICE’s Portland office, claimed the facility had faced over 100 consecutive nights of unrest. Wamsley alleged that Portland police were largely absent due to directives from the mayor and city council.

According to Wamsley, the demonstrations went beyond peaceful protest, with individuals throwing bottle rockets and rocks at the building, using lasers to target officers, and setting up barricades.

In response, the Trump administration prepared to deploy the National Guard to restore order. That plan was temporarily blocked by US District Judge Karin Immergut, who called the move “untethered from reality.” While she did not issue a stay, Judge Immergut warned it would dangerously blur the line between civil and military federal authority.

Musicians denounce ICE, sparking national debate

Country musicians have also weighed in on ICE actions. Zach Bryan drew backlash after condemning ICE in his song ‘Bad News’. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem criticized Bryan, calling his stance “incredibly disrespectful to law enforcement and this country."

The controversy deepened when fellow musician Bryan Andrews posted a video of himself shouting in the street, calling out Christians who support or mock ICE raids. “B******t. You don’t get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart outside courthouses,” he said.
