Overview

• Performing at the Moda Center on Monday as part of her Bite Me tour, Rapp paused her set to address immigration enforcement and national politics.
• She declared, “F**k ICE, f**k this administration, and f**k Trump,” after noting that “some other people who shouldn’t f***ing be here” were in the city.
• The crowd erupted, briefly drowning out her next words, before she returned to the show by thanking attendees for being “very gracious hosts.”
• Coverage situates the moment within Portland’s ongoing protests over immigration enforcement and a legal dispute over the Trump administration’s attempt to deploy 200 National Guard troops.
• Outlets also framed the episode in a broader wave of celebrity pushback to recent ICE raids, noting similar comments by Chappell Roan and Alaska and citing a Cato finding that most detainees in a recent period had no criminal record.
