Ariana Grande has asked President Donald Trump's administration to stop using her music in an ICE TikTok video.

The White House posted a video on TikTok on Tuesday, June 9, to promote its “heinous” crackdown on immigration, showing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and other officers from other agencies taking people into custody, which was backed by Grande’s song Bye.

It also had a caption that read, "Bye-bye [emoji] President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”

Expressing her disgust over the use of her song from her album, Eternal Sunshine, she wrote in the comments section, "Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. f**** ice.”

Notably, the Trump administration took swift action and has now muted the video.

It is pertinent to mention that Grande is not the first musician who has raised her voice against the use of her music in ICE videos. Many others have also asked the administration to stop using their music without their consent since the start of Trump’s second term as the President of the United States of America.

Sabrina Carpenter was among the top celebrities who recorded her protest against the use of her song Juno in one of ICE’s arresting videos in December of last year.

Alluding to a lyric from the song, the White House penned on X (previously Twitter), "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye.”

"this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” Carpenter admonished.
