After country singer Zach Bryan teased a new song condemning ICE raids, the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] responded by using one of his past hits in a recruitment video.
Bryan previewed a new song, "Bad News," in an Instagram post that quickly went viral. The song includes lyrics lamenting "the fading of the red, white and blue," and that "ICE is gonna come bust down your door."
John Rich, a fellow country music star famous for the smash-hit "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" was one of many who derided the song, joking that "Nashville is full of guys like this." Others on social media argued this was Bryan’s "Bud Light moment," comparing it to when numerous conservative consumers fled from the brand after it associated with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
But the official DHS account on X shared an especially barbed retort, writing, "We’re having an All Night Revival" and using Bryan’s song "Revival" to make a recruitment video showing armored law enforcement mobilizing and cracking down on masked rioters, taking people away in handcuffs.

Young dudes relish available opportunities to take down clearly deserving perps, so yes, recruitment should not be a huge challenge, and a song like this will motivate even more to join the righteous “shrtruggle”.
Zach took his boyfriend’s first name.

True.

He’s the male country version of Natalie Maines now.
A “Dixie Chicks” move.
Hey Zachie, payback is a b***h! ROTFL! Homeland Security, you rock!
Hmm. Never heard of this guy on the classic/Texas country stations.
I have heard of a Luke Bryan on the wife’s br-country Playlist.
