Pop star Renée Rapp has taken to the stage to deliver a scathing critique of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and former US President Donald Trump, in an expletive-filled rant that left the audience visibly shaken.
In Portland, Oregon, where Trump's administration is attempting to deploy national guard troops due to claims that the city is in chaos, Rapp found herself caught up in the midst of protests against ICE. The pop star, known for her chart-topping hits and acting roles on stage and screen, used the platform to express her outrage towards what she sees as systemic injustice.
"We're living in a time where some people who shouldn't be here are making a mess," Rapp said, her voice laced with emotion. "Let's make one thing abundantly clear: fuck ICE, fuck this administration, and fuck Trump."
Rapp's comments come amidst a growing chorus of musicians speaking out against ICE's activities in the US. Artists such as Chance the Rapper, Finneas, Tyler the Creator, and Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong have all weighed in on social media to condemn the agency's actions.
The move by Trump to deploy national guard troops in Portland was blocked by a federal judge earlier this week, with officials claiming that there is no threat to national security. However, ICE continues to be at the center of intense protests and controversy.
Protesters have faced off against federal agents on multiple occasions, with some reports indicating clashes between authorities and demonstrators who have been tear-gassed and arrested. Meanwhile, city officials and local residents are calling for accountability and greater transparency from federal law enforcement agencies.
As tensions continue to rise in Portland, Rapp's words serve as a powerful reminder of the widespread outrage against ICE's activities and the actions of Trump's administration. The pop star's message is clear: she will not stand idly by while those who claim to represent justice fail to uphold its principles.
