White House Responds To Chappell Roan’s ‘F**k ICE’ Message
Chappell Roan, known for being “HOT TO GO!” is not mincing words when it comes to her feelings about ICE.
At a packed concert near the Pasadena Rose Bowl, the singer-songwriter made a bold statement against the controversial immigration enforcement agency that has been causing turmoil in Southern California.
In a video of the concert circulating on social media, Roan expressed her love for Los Angeles, where she has resided for nine years after moving from Missouri, calling it the “best place in the world.”
“I’m so grateful to live and perform in this city, and as it has always supported me, it’s my duty to support it back. So, I just want to express my gratitude,” she said before emphatically adding, “And screw ICE forever.”

While Roan’s message resonated with her fans, it drew criticism from government officials responsible for the immigration crackdown in the region.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, responded to Roan’s comments in a statement to TMZ, highlighting the agency’s focus on removing dangerous individuals from the streets.
Despite the administration’s claims, data from Syracuse University’s TRAC revealed that a significant portion of DHS detainees have no criminal convictions, contradicting the narrative of targeting only serious offenders.
