Overview
- On Nov. 4, the White House and DHS posted a joint Instagram video urging undocumented immigrants to self-deport using the CBP Home app.
- The clip featured ICE arrest footage and scenes of people boarding flights, set to Rodrigo’s 2023 track “All-American Bitch.”
- Rodrigo commented, “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” a remark later deleted with no clear attribution for its removal.
- A DHS spokesperson responded that Americans are grateful for federal law enforcement and suggested Rodrigo thank agents for their service.
- News outlets report the joint video was removed after posting, and the episode fits a broader pattern of artists objecting to the administration’s unauthorized music use.
