The agency had suggested she thank federal law enforcement officers rather than criticize their service. And may I suggest all Nazi b------ suck on my fat d---, Williams said in response to DHS. The message was posted after the agency issued a statement defending immigration officers.In response to the comment from Williams, a DHS spokesperson defended the work of immigration officers and urged Williams to recognize their service. The agency said the officers deserve thanks rather than criticism. Williams' latest response follows a performance where the singer drew attention for her criticism of immigration enforcement and expressions of support for Palestinians. During the concert, Williams paused her performance to deliver an anti-ICE declaration before continuing with the song.She also shouted a separate message supporting Palestinians. Free motherf------ Palestine, Williams said. She condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the concert while also performing her song Ice in My OJ. A clip recirculated of her September performance at Forest Hills Stadium in New York.There she addressed the audience before performing True Believer. The remarks drew renewed attention online. Lisa Cusack, president of the Don't L.A. My Burbank PAC, criticized that declaration in a statement to Fox News Digital.Conservative Critic Challenges Singer ViewsShe disputed Williams' characterization and argued Christianity played a central role in shaping democratic principles. Incredibly ignorant comment considering Christianity is woven into the fabric of every founding document that proscribes Americans' democratic rights, Cusack said. There would be no natural law without Christianity, and without that, no human rights that exist beyond a government's power.Christianity sees all people as made in the image of God, so are all valuable, no matter how successful, and puts self-sacrifice above power, she added. The statement pushed back on Williams' onstage remarks about immigration enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security defended federal immigration officers after Williams' concert outburst. The agency urged the singer to recognize their service rather than belittle their sacrifice.DHS Highlights Assaults on ICE OfficersThe 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, Mullin said. The agency has highlighted escalating threats against its personnel. According to DHS data, the agency recorded 647 assaults against ICE personnel between Jan. 20, 2025, and Sept. 20, 2026.That compares with 37 during the corresponding period from Jan. 20, 2021, through Sept. 20, 2022 - a 1,649% increase, according to the agency. Williams has previously used major concert appearances to deliver political messages. During Paramore's performance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival, she urged Americans to vote against Trump. She criticized his political agenda and warned about the country's democratic future.The latest incident adds to a series of politically charged moments at her shows. Fox News Digital reached out to DHS concerning Williams' latest comments but did not immediately receive a response. The agency has not issued further public comment on the singer's insult.
