Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong had a special message for ICE agents at a Super Bowl pre-party in San Francisco.
The singer urged ICE personnel to "quit that s---ty job you have."
The singer also predicted that the Trump administration will "drop you like a bad f---ing habit" in the future.
Green Day'sBillie Joe Armstrongdoesn't envision a bright future for ICE agents.
The "Basket Case" singer, who isset to perform during the opening ceremonyat Super Bowl LX alongside his bandmates on Sunday, shared a candid message directed toward Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a performance on Friday night.
"This goes out to all the ICE agents out there, wherever you are,"Armstrong saidfrom the stage at an invitation-only concert held at San Francisco's Pier 29 on the Embarcadero, which was sponsored by FanDuel and Spotify. "Quit that s---ty job you have."

Armstrong went on to project that at some point in the future, key figures in the Trump administration would abandon the people enforcing their immigration policies. "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 f---ing habit. Come on this side of the line."
Armstrong also reportedly amended two of Green Day's hits to include more timely political targets within the lyrics, as he has in past performances. During "American Idiot," the singer changed the line "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda" to "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda," in reference to Trump's campaign slogan Make America Great Again.
Additionally, while performing "Holiday," Armstrong changed the line "The representative from California has the floor" to "The representative from Epstein Island has the floor."
At the beginning of that song, Armstrong said, "This goes out to Minneapolis," in reference to the city that has seen widespread ICE activity that resulted in the slayings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti last month.
Representatives for the White House and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond toEntertainment Weekly's requests for comment.

Trump previouslyopposed the decisionto hire Green Day for a Super Bowl performance, and also condemned Bad Bunny's upcoming set at the game's halftime show.
"I'm anti-them," Trump said of the musicians last month. "I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."
