The White House has used a song by Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, a well-known opponent of US President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, as music for a video about operations by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The clip, which shows arrests of migrants, drew criticism on social media and can now only be viewed on TikTok without the music of the song “La MuDANZA” (The Move) from the album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (I should have taken more photos).

It is unclear whether the missing audio is due to a complaint by the artist or his team. Bad Bunny has so far not commented publicly on the video.

The artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, is one of the best-known critics of Trump’s deportation policies and one of the most globally successful musicians of his generation.

At the Grammy Awards in February, the 32-year-old said: “ICE out.” In light of concerns about possible ICE operations at his concerts, he skipped performances on the US mainland on his most recent world tour.

His Spanish-language Super Bowl half-time show also became a political message, and Trump later sharply criticised the appearance.
