Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong made headlines during a Super Bowl pre-show in San Francisco on Friday.
The moment went viral when the 53-year-old singer spoke directly about Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
The group was performing at a party hosted by FanDuel and Spotify before the big game weekend.
During the show, Armstrong told the crowd, “Quit your shitty job,” referring to ICE agents.
The audience applauded loudly when he added that political leaders would eventually stop supporting the agency and encourage agents to quit their jobs.
His remarks, however, came as the Bay Area prepared for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Recently, many people have talked about the chaos of immigrants.
NFL security chief Cathy L. Lanier said there are “no ICE enforcement activities planned” at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, where the game will be played.
She said officials were confident about it.
Earlier, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem mentioned that ICE might be on hand after Bad Bunny was named halftime performer.
Bad Bunny also said he feared fans at his concerts in the United States would face immigration checks.
Armstrong has often spoken about politics during his shows, with his words during the San Francisco pre-show receiving strong support from the crowd.
