Green Day Singer Gives ICE Officers Some Career Advice 2 Days Before Super Bowl

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong advised U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to say “good riddance” to their jobs.

“This goes out to all the ICE agents out there, wherever you are,” Armstrong said on stage Friday at a pre-Super Bowl event held in San Francisco by FanDuel and Spotify. “Quit your shitty-ass job.”

The comments came two days before Green Day is lined up to perform in the Super Bowl pre-game ceremony on Sunday.

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

While it remains to be seen if the rock band will get political at the Super Bowl, Green Day has made headlines over the past year for repeatedly switching up lyrics to take aim at present-day conservatives.

He's right---but once a future employer sees that they were in ICE, who's gonna hire them?
