Olivia Rodrigo is showing she's not here for the Trump administration's antics. The pop star was fired up after discovering her song was used to promote self-deportation policies last week.
Things got wild when a video shared on Instagram featured the intense, rockin' vibes of Rodrigo's hit “All-American Bitch” set over scenes of ICE officers at work. Quickly switching to a softer aspect of the song, it seemingly attempted to provide a gentler spin on immigrants opting to self-deport, which did not sit well with Rodrigo.
The Department of Homeland Security thought they could ride Rodrigo’s wave with the caption: “LEAVE NOW and self-deport using the CBP Home app. If you don’t, you will face the consequences.” But Olivia was ready and clapped back with a bold reply—before it mysteriously vanished. She wrote, “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.” Although the post disappeared, her legion of fans started echoing her original words to keep the message alive.
A DHS spokesperson shot back, advising Rodrigo to "thank" law enforcement officers rather than criticize them, but let's be real: Olivia isn't known for backing down!
Notoriously vocal on social issues, Rodrigo previously made waves in June when ICE's mass raids hit Los Angeles. She lifted her voice on Instagram, standing strong for immigrant rights and the city she calls home.
“I’ve lived in L.A. my whole life and I’m deeply upset about these violent deportations of my neighbors under the current administration,” she said. “L.A. simply wouldn’t exist without immigrants. Treating hardworking community members with such little respect, empathy, and due process is awful.”
Her message was clear: She stands with immigrants across the nation and champions the freedom of speech and protest!
Rodrigo's rep has been quiet for now, but who knows what's next? This story is unfolding fast, and Olivia's not afraid to use her platform and her music to make some noise!
