Pop star Renee Rapp has issued a foul-mouthed rebuke of President Donald Trump and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials on stage in Portland, Oregon.
The 25-year-old Leave Me Alone hitmaker was performing at Portland’s Moda Center on Monday night when she slammed the administration over Trump's efforts to deploy National Guard troops to the city in an effort to reduce crime.
'F**k ICE, f**k this administration and f**k Trump,' she told the cheering crowd.
The Mean Girls star went on to describe Portland as a 'wonderful, wonderful city' after Trump said the city was 'burning to the ground' amid widespread unrest over the actions of ICE agents.
'And it just happens that we're here at the same time as some people who shouldn't f***ing be here are.
'You are very gracious hosts. Thank you for having us,' she said, adding that she wanted to make her position on Trump's actions 'abundantly clear.'
Portland has been gripped by anti-ICE protests since Trump vowed to deploy the National Guard to deal with crime.
The move was temporarily blocked by a federal judge following a last-ditch lawsuit brought by the state and city.
Trump hit out after the judge's ruling, insisting there are 'insurrectionists all over the place, it's antifa.
'You've seen it — the place is burning down and they pretend like there's nothing happening.'
According to California Governor Gavin Newsom, he skirted the ruling by deploying 300 federalized members of the California National Guard to Oregon.
The judge later ruled that, too, was temporarily blocked.
The president called the city 'war-ravaged', a characterization Oregon officials described as ludicrous.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in the city has been the site of nightly protests that typically drew a couple dozen people before the deployment was announced.
Rapp, who starred in The Sex Lives of College Girls for HBO Max, amassed widespread praise from liberals after video of her comments went viral.
'I don't know who this goddess is, but I'm going to look into her,' one new fan wrote.
'Need more celebrities to do this, you go girl,' another added.
