The Trump administration has published a video accompanied by a clip from the Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye song
The White House has published a new video of mass migrant deportations accompanied by a seemingly snide comment, with cheerful music playing in the background. The short clip appeared on the US presidential administration's accounts on X (formerly, Twitter) and YouTube on Sunday.
A short video demonstrates a group of handcuffed migrants being escorted by the American police officers towards the border. The 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye' song is playing in the background.
"Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye," a caption to the video says, repeating the song's refrain.
US President Donald Trump has campaigned on the promises of tightening US immigration policy and rolling back his predecessor Joe Biden's allegedly lenient approach to foreigners residing unlawfully in the country.
Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has expanded expedited removal, denied federal funding to sanctuary jurisdictions, and increased border enforcement hiring via a series of executive orders. He has also declared a national emergency, allowing the deployment of the armed forces to secure the border. His administration is expanding detention facilities to house up to 30,000 migrants.
Earlier this week, the New York Post reported, citing a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official, that US law enforcement authorities have made 113,000 migrant arrests and carried out over 100,000 deportations since Trump's inauguration on January 20.
In March, the president also invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport nearly 300 alleged Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members to El Salvador, where they were placed in high-security detention facilities. The criminal group itself was designated a foreign terrorist organization by Washington in February.
According to the NY Post, illegal border crossings in March dropped to around 7,000, down from 8,300 in February. The number also marked a 94% decrease from March 2024 when 137,000 people illegally crossed into the US from Mexico, the media outlet reported, with its DHS sources calling it "the Trump effect."
