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.”

Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day told ICE officers to quit their "shitty-ass" jobs while performing in San Francisco two days before the Super Bowl.

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.

In recent performances of the 2004 hit song “American Idiot,” which was originally inspired by the presidency of George W. Bush, the band has changed the line, “I’m not part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not part of a MAGA agenda.” In at least one other performance, they swapped the line to “I’m not part of the Elon agenda,” in reference to Tesla CEO and one-time “special government employee” Elon Musk.

Meanwhile, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, who sings in Spanish and previously skipped touring in the United States over fears of ICE threatening his fans, is slated to headline the halftime show, much to the irritation of many on the right. Conservative political group Turning Point USA plans to hold an alternative Super Bowl halftime show, with Kid Rock headlining.
