Billie Joe Armstrong Shares Message of Solidarity Amid L.A. Protests

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has joined the artists condemning ICE raids amid the ongoing L.A. protests.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has shared a message of support amid protesters rallying against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Trump administration’s recent deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles.

On Sunday evening (June 8), Armstrong posted a protest snippet from downtown L.A. via Instagram Stories, captioned with a middle-finger emoji and an ice cube. The clip featured a live recording of “F— Off,” a track from Saviors (Édition de Luxe), the deluxe version of Green Day’s 2024 album, released in May 2025.
