Jess Glynne has responded both Donald Trump and The White House after official social media channels posted a deportation video set to her Jet2 holiday advert.
In case you (somehow) weren’t aware, Jess Glynne’s Hold My Hand was used in a Jet2 holiday advert; sparking countless memes, recreations, and a lot of American confusion. Well, The White House jumped on the trend in a new post, only their specific brand of content has been branded “sick”, “twisted”, and “evil.”
In the video, migrants were herded onto a plane for deportation as the Jet2 holiday advert blared in the background. There were close-ups of faces and handcuffs, with the identities of ICE Agents blurred out.
“When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!” the video was captioned with.
Reacting, one person scathed on Twitter: “Further proof that the world ended and we’re just living in a simulation. The ACTUAL White House account hopping on the Jet2 trend to poke fun at deportees is mind-blowing.”
“The White House make me sick using the Jet2 sound for an ICE deportation video. How can any decent human being support this?” someone else wrote.
A third said, “This is shameful. Enforce the law, don’t flaunt misery in our faces like it is some accomplishment. Have some respect and human decency ffs.”
Jess Glynne is not happy about her song being used in a White House video.

What did Jess Glynne say about The White House’s deportation video?
It shouldn’t really need explaining why an artist wouldn’t want to be linked with such a video, and Jess Glynne did not mince her words as she condemned the Jet2 holiday usage.
“This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity and spreading positivity – never about division or hate,” she said.

The voiceover actress, Zoe Lister, who has since become a celebrity in her own right following the TikTok trend, also commented on The White House’s clip.
“What can be done about @whitehouse using @jet2pics sound and my voiceover to promote their nasty agenda?” she said.
People in the comments are urging Zoe and Jess to sue.
