DHS Rebukes Chappell Roan After Onstage 'F--- ICE' at Rose Bowl

A DHS spokesperson told TMZ the agency targets sex offenders, responding to the pop star's Rose Bowl chant.

Overview

  • During Friday's Pasadena show, Chappell Roan paused before her set to say "F--- ICE forever" at the Rose Bowl.
  • Videos from the concert show loud cheers as the crowd joined in chanting the phrase.
  • DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin responded through TMZ, saying, "Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad. That's who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip."
  • Fan-shot clips circulated widely online, drawing both praise and criticism in social media comments.
  • The clash comes after high-profile ICE operations in Los Angeles and Chicago this year, as a Cato Institute report found 65% of detainees since October 2024 had no criminal convictions.
