Zach Bryan sparks controversy with new music that mentions ICE raids

The singer-songwriter made headlines over the weekend after sharing the clip on his official Instagram account Friday. The lyrics in the audio clip reference ICE raids, as well as the police.

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, reacted to Bryan's new audio clip on X, writing, "Stick to Pink Skies, dude," a reference to Bryan's hit song "Pink Skies," from his 2024 album, The Great American Bar Scene.
