The White House hit back at Ariana Grande on Thursday after the “Wicked” actress slammed the Trump administration for using one of her songs in a social video depicting Immigration and Customs Inspection arrests.
“We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.
The 32-year-old blasted the White House earlier this week for using her song “Bye” in a TikTok video, writing in the comments section: “please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. f– ice.”
The caption of the White House video said: “Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”
As of Thursday, the sound appeared to have been removed from the video.
Last September, Grande shared an Instagram post that claimed “immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed.”
She also attended the Women’s March shortly after President Donald Trump took office the first time in 2017 and vocally opposed his transgender bathroom ban on social media.

Last year, she also shared a protest sign that said: “Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected President? It’s so confusing,” referencing Trump being convicted of 34 felonies related to his falsifying business records in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” case.
She previously supported Kamala Harris for president and performed for former President Barack Obama at the White House in 2014.
Fox News Digital has reached out to reps for Grande for comment.
