Olivia Rodrigo Slams Trump Administration for Using Her Song in ICE Video, Calls It “Barbaric”

Olivia Rodrigo has publicly criticized the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement, calling ICE social media videos that used her song “All-American B–ch” over arrest and deportation footage “barbaric” and “deeply disturbing.” In a new interview with Dazed, the Grammy-winning singer said the use of her music in the footage made her “even more enraged” and expressed sorrow and frustration over what she described as cruel treatment of immigrant communities.

Rodrigo said she was devastated by the violent deportations of her neighbors in Los Angeles under the current administration and argued that the videos and enforcement raids reflected a troubling moment in the country. She voiced strong support for immigrants and families affected by the actions, saying the propaganda made her feel angry and disappointed in the nation’s handling of immigration.

This is not the first time Rodrigo has spoken out against the Trump administration on immigration. She previously condemned federal officials in late 2025, accusing them of using her music to promote what she called “racist, hateful propaganda” and demanding that her work not be linked to that message. Her latest remarks show that her opposition to those policies has only grown stronger.

Rodrigo’s comments quickly spread across social media, where supporters praised her for speaking up on a divisive political issue. Immigration continues to be one of the most contentious topics in American politics, and public figures who address it often face both support and criticism. Despite that, Rodrigo appears willing to accept backlash in order to stand by her views.

The singer has frequently used her platform to advocate for causes she supports, including reproductive rights and voter engagement. Her latest statement adds to a growing pattern of celebrity activism and renews discussion about whether stars should use their influence to comment on public policy. For Rodrigo, silence does not seem to be an option, and her latest remarks make clear that she intends to keep speaking out on issues she believes matter.
