A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson made a response to Hayley Williams making anti-ICE remarks while performing the night of October 3rd at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheater in California.
While she was performing her 2025 song, “Ice In My OJ”, Williams paused partway through the song to exclaim “Fuck ICE” and also shouted “Free Motherfucking Palestine”.
Fox News Digital reports that on Sunday, the spokesperson said in a statement that “America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe…We suggest Ms. Williams to thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.”
Today, Williams responded to the DHS on her Instagram story, stating “”AND MAY I SUGGEST ALL NAZI BITCHES SUCK ON MY FAT DICK”.
As NME reports, she has been vocal about supporting Palestine before. She also “stood in solidarity with the artists who dropped out of Ed Sheeran’s tour, following Macklemore being dropped”.

To speak out against the violence in the world is an artist’s right, some would say duty. Hayley Williams is not the only artist to speak out against ICE. NME states Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Green Day, Neil young, Moby, Zara Larsson, Duran Duran, Dave Matthews and more. In further news, Stereogum tells us that Williams was announced as a part of Primavera’s stacked 2027 lineup today.
