White House fires back at Ariana Grande after she told them to never use her music in ICE deportation video

Ariana Grande is pushing back against the White House after the administration used one of her songs in a social media video promoting immigration enforcement actions.

The singer and "Wicked" actress called out the administration earlier this week for using her track "Bye" in a TikTok video that showed Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests. In a public comment, Grande wrote: "please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. f- ice."

The video's caption declared: "Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history."

By Thursday, the audio had been removed from the video.

A White House spokesperson, Abigail Jackson, defended the administration's use of the song in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"We'll say this one last time: what's actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens," Jackson said.

Grande, 32, has been a vocal critic of the president. She attended the Women's March shortly after Trump took office in 2017 and has publicly opposed his administration's policies on social media, including the former transgender bathroom ban.

The singer also shared an Instagram post last September claiming immigrants had been violently separated from their families and that communities were being destroyed.

Last year, she posted a protest sign that asked: "Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected President? It's so confusing." The message referenced Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

Grande previously endorsed Kamala Harris for president and performed at the White House during former President Barack Obama's administration in 2014.

Representatives for Grande did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
