Laura Ingraham exposes what she terms 'anti-ICE theater,' beginning with details from a fatal ICE shooting in Maine. She criticizes the Biden administration for pausing vehicular stops, a decision swiftly reversed by former President Trump. Ingraham also condemns Democrats like AOC and Gavin Newsom for allegedly encouraging illegal aliens to evade arrest, leading to increased dangers for ICE agents and American citizens.

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams drew pushback from the Department of Homeland Security after shouting "F--- ICE!" and "Free motherf------ Palestine!" during her solo concert Saturday night at North Island Credit Union Amphitheater in Chula Vista, California, prompting the agency to defend federal immigration officers.
Williams made the political declarations while performing "Ice in My OJ," pausing between lyrics to address the crowd.
"I got ice in my OJ, I'm a cold, hard b-----, F--- ICE!" Williams sang before pausing. "A lot of dumb motherf------ that I made rich."
"Free motherf------ Palestine!" the singer added.

A DHS spokesperson responded to Williams' anti-ICE remarks by pointing to the work performed by federal law enforcement officers and urging the singer to recognize their service.
"America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe," the spokesperson said, in a statement on Sunday to Fox News Digital. "We suggest Ms. Williams to thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice."
The Chula Vista remarks were not an isolated instance. Williams has incorporated the anti-ICE and "Free Palestine" lines into live renditions of her solo track throughout her 2026 tour dates.

Williams has also previously used the stage to speak out against ICE, Donald Trump and Republican politicians. During Paramore's performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in 2024, Williams warned concertgoers about Trump's presidential campaign and urged them to vote against him.
"Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community," Williams said. "It is time for all Americans to band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda. And the only way to do that is by confronting him at the polls. Do you want to live in a dictatorship? Well, show up and vote."
Her latest criticism of ICE comes as DHS has reported a sharp rise in assaults against the agency's personnel.
DHS recorded 647 assaults against ICE personnel between Jan. 20, 2025, and Sept. 20, 2026, compared with 37 during the corresponding period from Jan. 20, 2021, through Sept. 20, 2022 — an increase of 1,649%, according to DHS.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said federal immigration officers were facing increased danger while carrying out the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.
"The brave men and women of ICE, who are simply enforcing the laws mandated by Congress and protecting the American people, are under attack every single day," he said. "Since President Trump unleashed ICE to do their jobs, assaults against them have risen by more than 1,600% in the first year and a half of the administration."
