The Department of Homeland Security trolled musician Zach Bryan over his new song with a video of deportations set to another hit from the country star.
A 33-second video was posted to DHS social media this week and showed ICE agents taking illegal immigrants into custody, all set to Bryan’s 2020 song All Night Revival.
“We’re having an All Night Revival,” DHS wrote.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lashed out at Bryan this week over his track Bad News, calling it “completely disrespectful” to ICE.
“You know, I heard that and listened to a little bit of it and was extremely disappointed and disheartened, and actually, I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is, not just to law enforcement but to this country. To every single individual that has ever stood up and fought for our freedoms, he just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that, that attacks individuals who were just trying to make our streets safe,” she said.
Noem said she is “happy” she was never a fan of Bryan’s music and didn’t give him money to “enrich your lifestyle if you truly believe what that song stands for.”
Bryan’s songs include lyrics a number of conservatives have taken issue with including:
I heard the cops came
Cocky motherf*ckers, ain’t they?
And ICE is gonna come bust down your door.
And:
The middlе fingers rising, and it won’t stop showing
Got some bad news
Thе fading of the red, white and blue.
Bryan took to Instagram to defend his song amid growing criticism.
“The tune is about how much I love this country and everyone in it more than anything,” he wrote. “When you hear the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle.”
