At the first of two appearances at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl-adjacent Brookside venue on Friday night (October 10), the pop superstar reflected on her roots and love of LA, calling it her “favourite city in the world”.

“Oh,” she added, “Fuck ICE forever.” After she repeated the phrase, the crowd joined in and began chanting it.

Roan’s words triggered a response from the Department of Homeland Security’s Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin, who told TMZ: “‘Pink Pony Club’ is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”

As noted in a report by The Guardian in September, data released by the government shows that immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group in US immigration detention.

Video of Chappell saying that in the article.

And if ICE wants pedophiles off the streets, they can start with the pedophile in the White House. He's a citizen, but so are other people they've gone after.
