White House ICE Deportation Video Using Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Mexico Honey’ Goes Silent
A White House video showing ICE detentions and deportations has been muted, two days after it was posted with Kacey Musgraves’ song “Mexico Honey”. The clip’s use of a playful love song for immigration enforcement drew attention because its lyrics appear unrelated to the footage and the administration’s message.
The video still carries the caption “Goin back smooth”, but its audio is marked unavailable. Musgraves’ song reached No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100, and she has previously criticised the administration’s immigration enforcement. The article says it was unclear why the song was removed; representatives for Musgraves and ICE had not commented at the time.
