At a Los Angeles show, pop star Chappell Roan praised the city’s resilience after this year’s wildfires, then declared “F**k ICE forever,” prompting anti-ICE chants. The Department of Homeland Security’s Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin, shot back via TMZ: “Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad… Get a grip.” The exchange came amid renewed scrutiny of immigration enforcement; government data cited by The Guardian shows detainees without criminal records now form the largest group. Roan hasn’t responded. Other celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Olivia Rodrigo, have recently condemned deportations and raids.
