The Department of Homeland Security took it personally when a country music star took a dig at ICE.<\/p>\n

The agency released yet another action movie-inspired montage of immigration raids, this time set to Zach Bryan\u2019s \u201cRevival,\u201d after the singer-songwriter teased an upcoming song that throws shade at Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

The 30-second clip posted to X on Tuesday shows ICE agents clad in camouflage and gas masks as they faced off with protesters and rounded up several people.<\/p>\n

In the background, Bryan sings: \u201cLord, forgive us, my boys and me\/We\u2019re having an all-night revival\/Someone call the women and someone steal the Bible\/For the sake of my survival\/Baptize me in a bottle of Beam, put Johnny on the vinyl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re having an All Night Revival,\u201d the DHS wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n

The agency appears to have dug deep into Bryan\u2019s award-winning music catalogue to issue the petty rebuttal. Although \u201cRevival\u201d is a favorite in Bryan\u2019s fan base and is often performed as an encore at his concerts, the song did not enjoy broad commercial success or top the charts.<\/p>\n

Bryan caught MAGA\u2019s ire when he uploaded a snippet of an unreleased song on Instagram with the caption \u201cthe fading of the red white and blue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe generational story of dropping the plot\/I heard the cops came, cocky motherf—–s ain\u2019t they?\/And ICE is gonna come bust down your door\/Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone\/Kids are all scared and all alone,\u201d he croons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boss stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling\/The middle fingers rising and it won\u2019t stop showing\/Got some bad news\/The fading of the red, white and blue,\u201d the clip ends.<\/p>\n

MAGA devotees were quick to blast the Grammy Award-winning musician\u2019s \u201cnon-career\u201d even as they acknowledged that he set a record<\/a> for the largest ticketed concert in the U.S. when he drew over 112,000 fans to Michigan Stadium last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, that will never happen again. When will they learn?\u201d conservative influencer Benny Johnson wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Johnson that she was \u201cextremely disappointed and disheartened\u201d by the song.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is not just to law enforcement but to this country, to every single individual that has ever stood up and fought for our freedoms,\u201d she said. \u201cHe just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that that attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Secretary Kristi Noem flames country singer Zach Bryan.<\/p>\n

I just asked Noem about the new Zach Bryan song attacking ICE. Noem went scorched-earth calling the woke singer \u201ccompletely disrespectful\u201d to the law enforcement that protect him.<\/p>\n

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Beast Bryan should \u201cstick to Pink Skies, dude,\u201d when asked for comment about the new track.<\/p>\n

Bryan broke his silence on the conservative outrage in a statement posted to his Instagram story on Tuesday, revealing that he wrote the song \u201cmonths ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you hear the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone using this now as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are. We need to find our way back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bryan, who served in the U.S. Navy for eight years, said he loved America as he sought to disentangle himself from politics. He posed for a photo next to President Donald Trump and comedian Shane Gillis earlier this year<\/a> but quickly took down the post.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t speaking as a politician or some greater-than-thou asshole, just a 29-year-old man who is just as confused as everyone else. To see how much s–t it stirred up makes me not only embarrassed but kind of scared. Left wing or right wing we\u2019re all one bird and American,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo all those disappointed in me on either side of whatever you believe in just know I\u2019m trying my best too and we all say things that are misconstrued sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
