Glynne says the video is promoting “hate and division”.

The White House official X account has started to jump onto viral trends and memes since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January.

They often integrate them into posts which talk about policies or beliefs held by the government such as the latest Jet2 video.

This Tuesday, a brief 20-second video was released, displaying scenes of multiple individuals in handcuffs being escorted onto airplanes by officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Those in the video were being deported out of America as part of Trump’s major crackdown on “illegal aliens”.

Glynne’s chart-topping smash hit was played over the top of the clips with the now legendary voiceover from the Jet2 Holidays advert playing.

Jet2 have used the jingle paired with the catchy audio for years as part of their advertising campaigns.

In recent weeks however it has gained traction on TikTok and Instagram as a viral trend due to the tagline “nothing beats a Jet2 holiday”.

It sees people post a funny clip online which often features an embarrassing blunder as the sound plays in the background.

The trend has quickly racked up millions of views and has become the unexpected meme of the summer.

Jumping on the virality, the White House’s X post was captioned: “When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!”

The video ended with a smirking Trump giving a thumbs up to the camera.

The video has already amassed 12 million views but it was quick to anger Glynne.

She posted on Instagram saying: “This post honestly makes me sick.

“My music is abo”ut love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.”

The voice of the Jet2 trend, Zoe Lister, also reacted to the post.

She said: “What can be done about @whitehouse using @jet2pics sound and my voiceover to promote their nasty agenda?”

President Trump vowed to crack down on illegal immigration when he was running for office last year.

Within days of returning to the Oval Office he promised to remove millions of immigrants without legal status as part of a mass deportation policy.

The 47th president said he would catch alleged murderers, drug dealers, sex offenders and even terrorists that shouldn’t be in the United States.

He appointed new ICE agents responsible for finding people across the US and ensuring they were detained and made to leave.

ICE are currently aiming to reach 3,000 immigrant arrests per day.

The US plans on housing these migrants and criminals in a brand-new detention center nestled in the Florida Everglades. 

An airfield surrounded by pythons and more than 200,000 alligators has been picked as a spot to build the new facility, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz.
