\n\tChappell Roan<\/a> is facing criticism from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security following comments she made during a recent concert in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the first of two performances at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Friday (Oct. 10), the 27-year-old pop star paused her hit-filled set to reflect on her appreciation for her adopted hometown.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cL.A.\u2019s my favorite city in the world, to be honest,\u201d Roan told the crowd, according to Variety<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve been living here nine years. I\u2019m originally from Missouri and I had a really, really tough time the first five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe went on to speak about the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area and the community\u2019s response.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not gonna be eloquent about this,\u201d she continued. \u201cI loved L.A. more than ever than when I saw how the community came together in Altadena to help, same with the Palisades, I just realized that I\u2019m so lucky to be able to live here and to play here, and the city has taken care of me, and it\u2019s my duty to take care of it back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe then concluded her remarks with a pointed political statement. \u201cF\u2014k ICE forever,\u201d the singer said<\/a>. Roan repeated the phrase, prompting members of the crowd to chant along.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Department of Homeland Security quickly responded. \u201c\u2018Pink Pony Club\u2019 is good. Pedophiles are bad. That\u2019s who we\u2019re getting off of our streets. Get a grip,\u201d DHS assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin told TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRoan\u2019s comments come at a particularly tense moment for immigrant communities in the U.S., who have increasingly found themselves the target of aggressive ICE operations. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker recently described them as \u201cmilitary-style\u201d raids. President Donald Trump has made mass deportations a central part of his second term.<\/p>\n
