Irish rock band U2 has injected themselves into American immigration politics with the release of "American Obituary," a tribute song glorifying Renee Good, the anti-ICE activist who died during an altercation with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis last month.

The song, part of U2's six-track EP "Days of Ash" that debuted Wednesday, represents yet another foreign celebrity's attempt to undermine President Trump's critical deportation operations targeting criminal illegal aliens.

Good, who made a career of obstructing federal immigration enforcement, died during what sources describe as a confrontation with ICE officers conducting lawful removal operations. Rather than respecting the rule of law, U2 has chosen to martyr someone who actively worked against America's immigration system.

Hollywood Elites Enable Lawlessness

This shameful tribute comes at the exact moment when President Trump's administration is finally delivering on promises to secure our border and remove criminal aliens who have terrorized American communities for years. The timing couldn't be more insulting to the American people who voted overwhelmingly for immigration enforcement.

"Foreign rock stars lecturing Americans about our immigration laws while our ICE heroes risk their lives protecting communities—this is exactly the kind of globalist interference Americans rejected in November," said one immigration policy expert.

The Irish band's decision to release anti-American propaganda disguised as music shows how desperate the open-borders lobby has become as Trump's deportation machine gains momentum.

U2's latest political stunt follows a predictable pattern of wealthy celebrities attacking the very immigration enforcement that keeps American families safe. While Bono and his bandmates live in their gated compounds, working-class Americans deal with the real consequences of illegal immigration—from drug trafficking to violent crime.

President Trump's ICE operations have already removed thousands of criminal aliens in just three weeks, fulfilling his mandate to prioritize American citizens' safety over political correctness.

Will American radio stations play this anti-ICE propaganda, or will they stand with the federal officers risking everything to enforce our laws?

Does anyone know the full details of what actually happened during this enforcement operation? The media always jumps to conclusions before facts come out.

Good question. I'd like to see the body cam footage before making any judgments.

Tired of these foreign celebrities lecturing Americans about our immigration laws. U2 should stick to music and stay out of our politics.

Exactly! Ireland has their own border issues to worry about.

What about all the American victims of illegal immigration? Where are their anthems? U2 used to make great music, now they just virtue signal.

U2 went woke years ago and haven't been relevant since. Their best days were in the 80s before they became political activists.

ICE agents are doing their job protecting our sovereignty. My brother works for ICE and deals with dangerous situations daily that these musicians know nothing about.

This is why I stopped buying their albums years ago. Celebrities need to remember who their audience is.

Living in a border state, I see the real impact of weak enforcement policies every day. These millionaire rock stars don't live with the consequences of open borders like we do.

When did rock stars become immigration policy experts?

They didn't, but Hollywood and the music industry think their opinions matter more than ours.
