Overview

• On July 29, the White House posted a video on X showing ICE agents boarding migrants onto a GlobalX flight set to the Jet2 holiday audio and Jess Glynne’s “Hold My Hand,” captioned “When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!”
• Singer Jess Glynne called the post “sick,” stating her music is about “love, unity and spreading positivity” and rejecting its use for “division or hate.”
• Voice actor Zoe Lister, who delivered the Jet2 advert voiceover, disavowed the government’s repurposing of her work to “promote their nasty agenda.”
• Jet2/Jet2holidays issued a statement saying it “does not endorse” the White House video and expressed disappointment that its branding was used to promote deportation policy.
• White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson defended the meme-style approach, vowing to continue using trending formats to highlight deportation of criminal illegal aliens as part of President Trump’s enforcement agenda.
