DHS CHIEF NOEM SLAMS ZACH BRYAN OVER ANTI-ICE LYRICS AS AGENCY PUSHES ENFORCEMENT VIDEO

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem publicly rebuked country star Zach Bryan over new lyrics referencing ICE "busting down your door," calling them disrespectful. Bryan said the snippet was misconstrued and urged patience for full context, as DHS amplified the clash by using one of his songs in a promotional enforcement video. The spat underscores a growing use of immigration enforcement rhetoric in cultural battles tied to high-profile events like the Super Bowl.
