Olivia Rodrigo slams 'hateful and racist' US government body for what they used her song for

Pop star Olivia Rodrigo has hit out at the US government after they used one of her songs for one of their controversial deportation videos.

A video posted on social media by both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and White House accounts has caused a stir online after using a viral TikTok sound, and it's not the first time either.

Celebrities have openly hit out at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the largest investigative arm of the DHS, as they are responsible for border control, customs, trade, and immigration.

Since the Trump Administration took over, some videos on the account have been edited as compilations of authorities arresting and deporting supposed illegal immigrants, glamourising the act.

The use of viral sounds from social media has angered the likes of Theo Von, who asked them to remove a clip of him saying 'heard you got deported, dude - bye', which was taken out of context for their own video.

The comedian then wrote in response: "Yooo DHS I didnt approve to be used in this. I know you know my address, so send a check.

"And please take this down and please keep me out of your ‘banger’ deportation videos. When it comes to immigration, my thoughts and heart are a lot more nuanced than this video allows. Bye!"

While the account has also used the viral 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' soundbite, they recently angered singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo with their use of her song 'all-american b***h' for one of their deportation videos.

Fans were quick to notice Rodrigo responding to the video, commenting on the clip: “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.”

In the days since the 22-year-old's comment though, her sound has been removed from the clip, with her comment also seemingly deleted - though it's not clear who by.

The clip itself shows the supposed difference between ICE searching for and arresting illegal immigrants, resulting in violent treatment, and 'self-deporting', as people looked happy to be leaving the US in the clip before getting onboard a plane.

Some Instagram users made sure to quote Rodrigo's words in the comments in case the DHS deleted her comment themselves, while others shared what they thought of the use of her song in the video.

One user wrote: "not you deleting @oliviarodrigo comment," with another commenting: "@oliviarodrigo please sue them for using your music on this disgusting video."

A third added: "Damn you guys deleted @oliviarodrigo comment. She said you don’t have permission to use her song on your post."

The DHS or White House have not addressed the removal of the sound or the comment from the post.
