WASHINGTON — Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) is facing a wave of criticism after appearing at Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union address with a pin bearing the message “F–k ICE”. Images from the House chamber showed Tlaib sitting in the gallery, smiling while the pin, protesting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), was clearly visible to cameras. The RNC Research account on the X platform called the action “SICK”, asserting that Democrats “hate law enforcement”. Several other conservative commentators also called for Tlaib to be disciplined. Some social media comments suggested the vulgar content of the pin violated decorum standards in the House of Representatives. Tlaib was previously censured by the House in 2023 in connection with her statements about Hamas after the attack on Israel. During his speech on the evening of February 24, President Trump addressed numerous economic and security issues and called for an end to political violence. According to reports, Tlaib — seated next to Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) — spoke loudly multiple times during the President's speech, including allegations related to the “Epstein Files”. The incident occurred amid intense debate over immigration policy and recent immigration enforcement campaigns.
