Country star Zach Bryan is facing some serious backlash online following the release of his anti-ICE song, “Bad News.”
The lyrics specifically target Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with lyrics that say, “ICE is gonna come, bust down your door / Try to build a house no one builds no more / But I’ve got a telephone / Kids are all scared and all alone.”
“I’ve got some bad news / The fading of the red, white and blue,” the song goes on.
The song’s messaging has inspired country fans to come out in force to blast Bryan for his anti-ICE stance.
“Who’s ready for the Zach Bryan-Dixie Chicks tour? Prob a huge Bud Light sponsorship for this one,” country star John Rich joked on X, mocking both the Chicks’ infamous 2003 feud with President George W. Bush and Bud Light’s controversial tie-up with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney.

“’Cocky motherf****** ain’t they. And ICE is gonna come, bust down your door. The fading of the red, white, and blue.’ He just drew over 112,000 fans to what became the largest concert in U.S. history last week. Now, that will never happen again. When will they learn?” conservative podcast host Benny Johnson wrote.
“We were just invaded by over 10 million illegal aliens and who does Zach Bryan cheer for? The illegals,” another commenter wrote. “I smell a boycott brewing.”
“Dear Zach Bryan, F*** you. Sincerely, American Patriots,” another popular comment said. “ICE agents risk their lives daily. Violent leftists throw bricks at them, attack them, spit at them, even shoot at them. And this is the song he released. Career over.”
The song release comes after a recent episode of “Law & Order: SVU” portrayed ICE agents as villains who target innocent immigrants to deport for no apparent reason.
Rapper Bad Bunny, who was just tapped to play the halftime show at the Super Bowl in February, has avoided touring in the United States due to a perceived threat that ICE could pose to his fans.
“…There was the issue of — like, f***ing ICE could be outside (my concert). And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” he said.
Meanwhile, ICE has been hard at work enforcing the federal immigration laws and has been villainized for its trouble.
Attacks on ICE agents and their families have skyrocketed nearly 1,000% in just eight months — and many are pointing the finger at Democrats and the media for painting them as villains.
