White House slammed for using Bad Bunny song in new ICE deportation video

NME · 4 hours ago

The White House has faced criticism after using Bad Bunny’s song ‘La Mudanza’ in a TikTok video promoting Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportations. Critics objected because the Puerto Rican artist has publicly criticised the Trump administration’s immigration policies and ICE, making the use appear at odds with his views.

The video, posted on 30 July, combined footage of ICE detaining undocumented people with lyrics praising parents, while on-screen text changed the message to praise Donald Trump. The article says Bad Bunny had previously avoided touring the US over concerns about ICE raids, and places the incident alongside objections from Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo and other artists whose music has been used in White House or Trump-related videos.

  • White House used Bad Bunny music in an ICE deportation video.
  • Fans criticised the use given his opposition to ICE.
  • Several artists have objected to similar political music use.
