Olivia Rodrigo is upset that President Trump’s administration used one of her songs to promote the Department of Homeland Security's ramped-up deportations.
The singer hopped in the comments section for a post by the Department of Homeland Security (of which Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, known as "ICE," is an agency) and the White House, which used her song “all american bitch” to soundtrack a video instructing immigrants to "self-deport" or "face the consequences."
“Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” she wrote.
This isn’t the first time that the singer has spoken out against the Trump administration's actions around immigration. In June, the singer expressed her frustration about the “violent deportations” that were happening in Los Angeles on her Instagram Stories.
"I've lived in LA my whole life and I'm deeply upset about these violent deportations of my neighbors under the current administration," she wrote.
"LA simply wouldn't exist without immigrants. Treating hardworking community members with such little respect, empathy, and due process is awful,” she continued. “I stand with the beautiful, diverse community of Los Angeles and with immigrants all across America."
In another post, Rodrigo posted a picture of one of the “No Kings” protests that happened in Los Angeles.
Trump’s administration has become famous for using artists’ music without their permission. Kenny Loggins recently slammed President Trump for using his song “Danger Zone” to soundtrack an AI-generated video that featured the leader of the United States dropping poop on protestors.
“I request that my recording on this video be removed immediately,” wrote Loggins on Instagram. “I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together.”
