Jess Glynne has condemned the White House for using her song 'Hold My Hand' in a video promoting Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation flights.
The White House video, which depicted handcuffed undocumented people being deported, attempted to capitalize on a viral TikTok trend linked to Jet2Holidays.
Glynne expressed her disgust at the post, stating that her music is about love and unity, not division or hate.
Zoe Lister, the voiceover artist for the original 'nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' line, also voiced her upset regarding the White House's appropriation of the audio.
The White House has faced significant criticism for the post, with social media users widely labelling it as 'abhorrent' and 'distasteful'.
