Billie Joe Armstrong Sends ICE a Message at Green Day’s Pre-Super Bowl Gig

“When this is over, and it will be over at some point of time, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump — they’re gonna drop you like a bad fucking habit,” singer warned at Pier 29 show

Billie Joe Armstrong encouraged ICE agents to quit their “shitty ass job” at Green Day’s pre-Super Bowl concert Friday in San Francisco.

Taking the stage at Pier 29 ahead of their Super Bowl pregame performance Sunday, Armstrong had a message for the ICE agents rumored to be patrolling the football game at Levi’s Stadium.

“Quit your shitty ass job. Quit that shitty job you have,” Armstrong told ICE agents possible in attendance at the band’s concert. “Because when this is over, and it will be over at some point of time, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump — they’re gonna drop you like a bad fucking habit. Come on to this side of the line.”

Armstrong also quipped about “Epstein Island” in an ad-lib lyric change:

In the aftermath of the shooting of Renee Good, Green Day previously called out ICE during a January concert in Inglewood, California, with Armstrong prefacing their song “Holiday” by telling the crowd, “This song is anti-fascism. This song is anti-war. We stand up for our brothers and sisters in Minnesota.”

Soon after, the Bay Area band was invited to perform at a pregame concert celebrating the Super Bowl’s history, a decision — along with Bad Bunny’s halftime show — that drew criticism from President Donald Trump. ““I’m anti-them,” Trump, who won’t be attending the Super Bowl, said of the artists. “I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”
