Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, made headlines at a Super Bowl pre-show in San Francisco on Friday.
The moment went viral as the 53-year-old singer spoke directly to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The band performed at a party organized by FanDuel and Spotify before the big game weekend.
During the show, Armstrong told the audience, “Quit your crappy ass job,” referring to ICE agents.
The crowd cheered loudly when he added that political leaders would eventually stop supporting the agency and called on agents to leave their jobs.
His remarks, however, came as the Bay Area geared up for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Recently, lots of people have been talking about immigrant chaos.
NFL security chief Cathy L. Lanier said there were “no planned ICE enforcement activities” at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, where the game will take place.
She said officials were sure of it.
Earlier, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem mentioned that ICE could be on the scene after Bad Bunny was named the interim player.
Bad Bunny has also said he is concerned that fans at his US concerts could face immigration checks.
Armstrong has often spoken about politics during his shows, as his words at the San Francisco pre-show were met with strong support from the crowd.
