Safe to say they’re not a fan of the new song. Last week, Zach Bryan teased an unexpectedly political new song called “Bad News,” which criticized the ongoing immigration raids by ICE and bemoaned the “fading of the red white and blue.” The song starts out pretty typical for a Zach Bryan song: “Didn’t wake up dead or in jail Some out of town boys been giving us hell I got some bad news I woke up missing you My friends are all degenerates but they’re all I got The generational story of dropping the plot I heard the cops came Cocky mother******* ain’t they?” However, once the song gets to its second verse, it dives into the political side of things. Right off the bat, Bryan took aim at the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). And towards the end of the verse, the country star reveals that the “Bad News” he’s singing about is the “fading of the red, white and blue.” He also seems to lament the fact that Bruce Springsteen, who famously rants about Donald Trump at every concert, has lost some fans recently: “And ICE is gonna come, bust down your door Try to build a house no one builds no more But I got a telephone Kids are all scared and all alone The Boss stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling The middle fingers rising and it won’t stop showing I got some bad news The fading of the red, white and blue” As you can imagine, the song has drawn strong reactions from both sides of the political aisle. Many on the left are praising Bryan (although I’m guessing a lot of them don’t know much about him and won’t be such big fans once they dig into his background…), while many on the left have criticized the song as anti-law enforcement and called for boycotts of Zach’s music. Earlier today, TMZ reached out to the Department of Homeland Security (the agency that oversees ICE) for comment on the new song, and Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs, provided a short, concise clap-back on behalf of the department: “Stick to ‘Pink Skies.'” But now it seems the department has issued another response – while not directly responding. In one of their now-famous (or infamous, depending how you look at it) videos highlighting the department’s work on deportations and immigration enforcement, DHS decided to use Zach’s hit song “Revival” as the soundtrack for footage showing immigration raids and deportation flights: We’re having an All Night Revival pic.twitter.com/o7q8DExPra — Homeland Security (@DHSgov) October 7, 2025 Gotta think Zach’s not going to be happy with that one. Of course it wouldn’t be the first time that DHS upset a celebrity by using them in their hype videos. Just last month, Theo Von called out the department for including a clip of him in a video promoting deportation statistics: “Yooo DHS i didnt approve to be used in this. I know you know my address so send a check. And please take this down and please keep me out of your ‘banger’ deportation videos. When it comes to immigration my thoughts and heart are alot more nuanced than this video allows. Bye!” Theo also expressed concerns for his safety, and the government eventually removed the video that featured a clip of Theo from an unrelated video. Zach has currently deleted his Twitter (which is a common occurrence, so it might be reactivated by the time you’re reading this) and hasn’t responded to the video from DHS, but we’ll be sure to let you know if he has any comment on his song being used by the department he criticized in his song.The post Department Of Homeland Security Trolls Zach Bryan With Video Of ICE Raids Set To “Revival” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
