Country superstar Zach Bryan has some "Bad News" for America — and fans are all ears.
The 29-year-old singer on Oct. 6 dropped a one-minute snippet of a timely new song called "Bad News" that attacks U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In the audio, posted on Instagram, the U.S. Navy veteran seemingly sings: "ICE is gonna come, bust down your door/ Try to build a house no one builds no more/ But I've got a telephone/ Kids are all scared and all alone."
"The bar stopped bumping/ The rock stopped rolling/ The middle fingers rising and it won't stop showing," he later sings. "I've got some bad news/ The fading of the red, white and blue."
No information about a possible release date has been provided.
Speaking with The New York Times in 2022, Bryan described himself as a "total libertarian." The following year, while responding to musician Travis Tritt's vow to boycott Anheuser-Busch products over the company's partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, Bryan reportedly posted that "insulting transgender people is completely wrong.
"I just have family transitioning and have blood to defend here," he added.
More than a week prior, Bryan performed what was reportedly the biggest ticketed concert in U.S. history at Ann Arbor's Michigan Stadium.
Over the Oct. 4 weekend, as protests over immigration enforcement intensified, a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Chicago shot a woman after she and at least one other person allegedly rammed cars into vehicles carrying federal authorities.
The Trump administration has vowed to flood cities run by Democrats with federal agents as part of a nationwide immigration crackdown. Federal officials have targeted so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
