Rodrigo Slams DHS for Using Song in Deportation PSA

Pop singer Olivia Rodrigo was deeply disturbed and enraged to find her song 'All-American Bitch' used in a Department of Homeland Security social media post. The video, part of a PSA encouraging immigrants to self-deport, depicted agents apprehending individuals. Rodrigo publicly condemned the Department of Homeland Security's actions on Instagram, labeling the content as "racist, hateful propaganda."

While the original post is still visible on the DHS Instagram account, the audio has been disabled. Rodrigo voiced her shame and sadness regarding the inhumane policies enacted by the current administration, particularly regarding deportations in Los Angeles. She previously spoke out against former President Donald Trump's immigration policies last June, highlighting the vital contributions of immigrants to the city.

Rodrigo believes that as an artist, sharing one's feelings is essential. Despite not holding a political science degree, she strives to stay informed and express her views. Her stance underscores a commitment to advocating for human rights and expressing solidarity with immigrant communities across the nation.
