Williams delivered the remarks during her performance at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheater in Chula Vista, California, on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026. The comments prompted a response from a DHS spokesperson addressing her criticism of federal law enforcement.

Williams said during her live show: “I got ice in my OJ, I’m a cold, hard b*tch, F*ck ICE! A lot of dumb motherf*ckers that I made rich. F*ck ICE! Free motherf*cking Palestine!”

The spokesperson for DHS responded to Williams’ comments by pointing to the work of federal officers. The spokesperson said: “America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe. We suggest Ms. Williams to thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.”

Williams later replied on Instagram Stories after reposting the DHS statement: “And may I suggest all Nazi b*tches s*ck on my fat d*ck.”

The exchange comes as Williams has increasingly used her solo performances as a platform for outspoken commentary on political and social issues. Her latest remarks put her directly at odds with the federal agency, turning what began as a concert statement into a public back-and-forth with DHS.

Neither Williams nor Paramore has indicated that the controversy will affect the band’s future plans. For now, Williams’ response has kept the dispute in the spotlight, with fans watching closely to see whether the singer has anything further to say about her confrontation with DHS.
