Hayley Williams has been urged not to minimize the sacrifices made by America’s federal agents after she shouted "F* ICE" during a recent concert.
The Paramore frontwoman was performing at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheater in California on Saturday (03.10.26) when she directed a profane remark at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Hayley was performing her track Ice In My OJ at the moment, and also urged listeners for a “Free motherf**** Palestine”.
Responding to the moment, a representative for the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital: “America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe.
“We urge Ms. Williams to thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.”
The Misery Business singer has long been vocal about her views on President Donald Trump and his policies.
She recently expressed support for Macklemore and other artists who left Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour after the former delivered a "Free Palestine" speech while backing Ed in New Jersey.
She went on to add all of the artists who followed Macklemore after he was removed from the U.S. leg of the tour to her pre-show playlist at Forest Hills Stadium in New York in September.
The playlist featured Macklemore’s Can’t Hold Us and Thrift Shop, Lukas Graham’s Mama Said, For Cryin’ Out Loud by Finneas, Rowe’s The Lane, and Beoga’s Aurora II.
She also mocked Ed for his apolitical stance online. Writing as if she were him, she stated: “Hey guys I’ve seen all the atrocities going on and I just want you to know I am keeping the conversation open by saying nothing.
"I am a role model (product) and it’s important that I don’t disappoint my young fans (investors and shareholders) by being political. My shows are something so much bigger than politics – they are commerce.”
Shape of You hitmaker Ed has insisted he’s “appalled" by the situation between Israel and Palestine.
