Olivia Rodrigo Criticizes Feds for Using Her Song in Deportation Video
Olivia Rodrigo has publicly criticized the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for using her song in a controversial deportation video. The singer’s music was featured in a video posted by the White House and DHS, depicting arrests and deportations conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Criticism of Deportation Video
Rodrigo expressed her displeasure after discovering that her song “All-American Bitch” was being used in the background of the video, which she described as “racist” and “hateful propaganda.” Her comment on social media urged the federal agencies to refrain from using her music to promote such views.
Public Response from DHS
A spokesperson from the DHS responded to Rodrigo’s criticism by emphasizing the importance of federal law enforcement officers. The statement suggested that Rodrigo should express gratitude for their efforts, rather than belittling their service.
Previous Statements on Immigration
Rodrigo has been vocal about her concerns regarding immigration policies. In June, she condemned the violent deportations occurring in Los Angeles, where she has spent her entire life. She stated, “LA simply wouldn’t exist without immigrants,” highlighting the community’s diversity and importance.

Future Engagements
While Rodrigo attended events at the White House during President Joe Biden’s administration, her future interactions with the government may be different under President Trump. Her stance on immigration and the use of her music suggests she will remain a prominent voice in social justice issues.
As discussions about immigration policies continue, Rodrigo’s involvement and influence as a public figure may play a significant role in shaping public opinion.
