Zach Bryan ICE song criticized by DHS officials
Country singer Zach Bryan has drawn criticism from officials at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after releasing a song that touches on immigration raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The backlash centers on “Bad News,” a demo Bryan posted to social media on Oct. 3, featuring lyrics that reference federal immigration enforcement operations.
In comments reported by The Guardian, DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told Bryan to “stick to Pink Skies, dude,” referencing one of his earlier songs.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also denounced the track, calling it disrespectful toward law enforcement.
“I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is, not just to law enforcement but to this country,” Noem told conservative Benny Johnson, as reported by the New York Post.
“To every single individual that has stood up and fought for our freedoms. He just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that that attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.”
