Olivia Rodrigo Calls Out Trump’s DHS for Using Her Song in “Racist” Propaganda
Olivia Rodrigo has never been one to stay silent — and this time, she’s calling out the U.S. government itself. The pop star publicly slammed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Trump administration after discovering that her song “All-American Bitch” had been used in a controversial video promoting self-deportation.
The video, which appeared on Instagram as a collaboration between DHS and the White House, encouraged undocumented immigrants to “self-deport using the CBP Home app.” It featured disturbing clips of ICE agents detaining people of color, all set to Rodrigo’s upbeat track from her 2023 album Guts . The post’s caption was blunt, reading: “LEAVE NOW and self-deport... If you don’t, you will face the consequences.”

When Rodrigo saw her music being tied to this message, she didn’t hold back. She quickly commented on the post, saying, “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.” Although the comment was later deleted — no one knows whether by her or by the DHS — fans quickly began reposting screenshots across social media to make sure her words stayed visible.
The DHS later issued a defensive statement suggesting that Rodrigo should “thank federal law enforcement officers for keeping America safe” instead of criticizing them. But Rodrigo’s stance was clear. She has long been vocal about immigration issues and has previously condemned Trump-era deportation policies. Earlier this year, she shared that living in Los Angeles — a city shaped by immigrants — made her “deeply upset” to see hardworking people treated with “so little respect, empathy, and due process.”
This latest controversy has reignited the debate over how government agencies use popular music and celebrity content to push political agendas. Rodrigo joins a growing list of artists who’ve publicly demanded that their art not be used to endorse hate or discrimination. British singer Jess Glynne also criticized the White House recently for using her song “Hold My Hand” in a post promoting deportations, calling it “sick” and “completely against the message” of her music.
Fans have overwhelmingly rallied behind Rodrigo, praising her for speaking up despite potential political backlash. Her words highlight a growing frustration among artists whose work has been misused to legitimize divisive policies.
At just 22, Rodrigo continues to prove she’s not only a voice of her generation musically but also socially. Her message to those in power couldn’t have been clearer — her music celebrates individuality, freedom, and kindness, not fear or exclusion. And as she reminded everyone this week, no one gets to twist that message for political gain.
