Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong advised US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, saying: “tidy and tidyto their jobs.
“This is going out to all the ICE agents out there, wherever you are,” Armstrong said Friday on stage at a pre-Super Bowl event held in San Francisco by FanDuel and Spotify. shitty job.”

The comments came two days before Green Day was scheduled to perform at Sunday’s Super Bowl pre-game ceremony.
“Quit that shitty job you have,” Armstrong continued. “Because when this is over – and it will be over someday – Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump will drop you like a bad habit. Get on this side of the line.”

While it remains to be seen whether the rock band will get political during the Super Bowl, Green Day has made headlines over the past year for repeatedly switching up the lyrics to target today’s conservatives.
In recent renditions of the 2004 hit “American Idiot,” which was originally inspired by the presidency of George W. Bush, the band has changed the phrase “I’m not part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not part of a MAGA agenda.” In at least one other appearance, they switched the phrase to “I am not part of the Elon agenda,” referring to Tesla CEO and former “special government employee” Elon Musk.
Meanwhile, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, who sings in Spanish and previously skipped a tour of the United States out of fear that ICE would threaten his fans, is set to headline the halftime show, much to the chagrin of many on the right. Conservative political group Turning Point USA plans to hold an alternative Super Bowl halftime show, with Kid Rock as the headliner.
