Overview
- The White House and Department of Homeland Security posted a joint Instagram video on Nov. 4 urging undocumented immigrants to self-deport via the CBP Home app, warning, “LEAVE NOW… If you don’t, you will face the consequences.”
- The clip used Olivia Rodrigo’s 2023 track “All-American Bitch,” pairing ICE raid footage with staged scenes of migrants apparently choosing voluntary departures.
- Rodrigo commented on the post, “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” though her comment later was no longer visible.
- A DHS spokesperson responded that “America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe” and suggested she thank them for their service rather than “belittle their sacrifice.”
- Following the backlash, Instagram made the song unavailable on the video, and recent coverage notes the audio has been removed, with no public indication of legal action by the artist.
