Pop star Olivia Rodrigo decided to pick a very loud fight with federal law enforcement last week — all because the Department of Homeland Security used a few seconds of her music in a video reminding illegal immigrants that the days of open borders and zero consequences are over.
Apparently, enforcing U.S. law is “racist” now — at least according to celebrities who live in gated mansions far from the chaos their politics create.
The “Guts” singer lashed out after DHS used her 2023 track “All-American B***h” in a social media post promoting a simple message: self-deport now or ICE will deport you later. Pretty straightforward. But Rodrigo erupted, posting, “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.”
The DHS video itself was hardly controversial — unless you’re a Hollywood activist. It opened with clips of ICE agents apprehending violent criminal illegals and escorting them onto planes back to their home countries. The text read, “If ICE finds you…”
Then came a second set of clips showing illegal immigrants voluntarily self-deporting — smiling, relaxed, boarding planes on their own terms. The message changed to, “If you self-deport.” DHS encouraged migrants to use the CBP app to arrange a voluntary departure. Those who comply even receive a $1,000 exit bonus — a far better deal than being detained and removed.
The video caption stated: “LEAVE NOW and self-deport using the CBP Home app. If you don’t, you will face the consequences.”
In other words: follow the law or pay the price.
Rodrigo’s tantrum apparently got results. Her song was quickly removed from the post — reportedly at her request. DHS responded with a polite but pointed statement:
“America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe. We suggest Ms. Rodrigo thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.”
Exactly right. While Rodrigo enjoys private security and Hollywood privilege, ICE officers are out arresting cartel members, human traffickers, and repeat offenders who have no business being in this country.
But this isn’t the first time Rodrigo has attacked law enforcement for doing their jobs. Back in June, she posted an emotional rant on Instagram, claiming she was “deeply upset” about “violent deportations” and insisting Los Angeles “wouldn’t exist without immigrants.” Of course, no one disputes the value of legal immigrants. The issue is criminals who enter illegally and endanger American lives — something Rodrigo and her activist friends refuse to acknowledge.
She’s not alone. Hollywood has jumped all-in on the anti-ICE hysteria:
* Renee Rapp screamed “F**k ICE” and “F**k Trump” onstage during a concert in Portland.
* Country artist Zach Bryan attacked ICE in his song “Bad News,” prompting DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to remind him that criticizing law enforcement for enforcing the law is “completely disrespectful to this country.”
While celebrities perform outrage for applause, ICE continues doing the hard work of protecting Americans — something critics safely ignore while enjoying the freedom and security those agents provide.
At the end of the day, one thing is clear:
America’s borders are finally being enforced again — and no amount of celebrity tantrums is going to stop it.
