Jess Glynne slams Trump officials for using song in deportation video
In the Trump administration's video, people are escorted out of a van and marched onto a plane while their hands and ankles are handcuffed. Though federal agents' faces are blurred, the detainees' faces are not.
USA TODAY has reached out to Jet2 for comment.
The 2024 Jet2 TV commercial, which has blown up on TikTok with nearly 2 million videos using the audio, features British actress Zoe Lister heartily declaring, "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday. And right now, you can save ?50 per person! That's ?200 off for a family of four."

In an interview with NBC News, Lister called the trend "really funny and joyful."
Many users feature the upbeat sound in their videos juxtaposing it with a horrifying vacation incident or a funny, candid moment. One post depicts a traveler standing in a construction zone after allegedly being stranded in Croatia because their hotel "hasn't actually been built yet." Another shows a person spraying a fire extinguisher around an airport terminal after attempting to sneak on an airplane.
President Donald Trump has vowed to carry out mass deportations of unauthorized immigrants, citing threats to public safety.
However, there are reports of people, including schoolchildren, farm workers, and those who are married to U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents without criminal records also being targeted by the Department of Homeland Security.

The emotional funeral service saw 110 of Ozzy's nearest and dearest join his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, who is Ozzy's son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. A family friend told The Sun that Ozzy and Sharon's home was decorated with pictures of the Black Sabbath rocker - and that they had planned to give mourners a photograph of him to take home with them. They added: 'Ozzy's service was a beautiful tribute. As well as tears, there was laughter.' Stars including Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates, Metallica's James Hetfield, punk singer Yungblud and Sir Elton John were all at the service to say goodbye. Rock icon Marilyn Manson was also among the mourners who attended, after flying in from the US, along with Ozzy's guitarist Zakk Wylde and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor. The road leading to Ozzy and Sharon's home, close to Gerrards Cross, was closed from 1pm. Guests were sent a simple black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: 'In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne.' Mourners were transported from The Crowne Plaza and The Bull in Gerrards Cross to the house at 2pm, with the service starting at 3pm. Tents were erected in the 250-acre grounds of the house, which Ozzy and Sharon bought back in 1993, along with a stage where tributes were paid to Ozzy.

'Toasts were raised, memories were shared - it was a very fitting goodbye. 'Ozzy wanted his final place of rest to be at home and he is buried at a beautiful point on the lake. 'As well as the 'Ozzy f***ing Osbourne' wreath, which made people smile, there was another floral tribute which spelt out 'Ozzy' that was placed by the fountain on the lake. 12 Kelly previously shared a heartwarming video of the pair in Ozzy's memory Credit: A&E 12 She also shared a sweet final video of Ozzy days before his death Credit: instagram/kellyosbourne 12 Sharon, Kelly and Jack all carried purple flowers wrapped in black paper to lay for Ozzy on Wednesday Credit: i-Images 'There was a stage where people including Yungblud, who grew very close to Ozzy in recent years, were set to pay tribute to him. 'The day was incredibly emotional. Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.' Rock icon Ozzy died "surrounded by love" at his home on Tuesday, July 22. Since then, Kelly has been remembering her dad with a series of emotional posts. In one video, the singer could be seen sitting around the kitchen table with family during Ozzy's final days. In another, she shared the lyrics to Changes - the Black Sabbath track that she and Ozzy famously re-recorded together in 2003. Last week, Kelly uploaded a third moving clip from the 2018 series Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, showing a sweet moment between father and daughter as they sang and danced together in a truck. The video showed Kelly in the driver's seat of a huge HGV, which the pair were using on a road trip. As Ozzy climbed in, Kelly told him: 'I've got this song in my head, I'm gonna have to play it for you.' She then pressed play on George Ezra's Paradise. Ozzy looked slightly confused as he heard the song for the first time, but as the chorus kicked in, a smile spread across his face. The pair began dancing in their seats, moving their arms, shaking their shoulders and enjoying the moment. As Kelly started driving, she said, 'I love you,' and without missing a beat, Ozzy replied, 'I love you more." 12 Kelly has shared a sting of sweet tributes Credit: Reuters 12 The family shared an incredibly close bond Credit: Getty 12 Kelly pictured with her father in 2014 Credit: Splash It comes as thousands of fans also paid tribute at Ozzy's funeral procession through Birmingham on Wednesday. Sharon and the family followed behind his cortege through the city. Sharon wore Ozzy's ring on a chain around her neck in memory of her late husband, while Kelly donned round sunglasses in a nod her father's famous look. Stoic Sharon and her rarely seen daughter Aimee also waved to the emotional crowd and gave peace signs to fans. They stood alongside Louis, Ozzy's son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, who was donning a purple tie in honour of his father. Chants of "Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy" rang out, with many shouting messages of support for Sharon. One could be heard saying "we love you Sharon" as she laid flowers next to the cortege. Ozzy's name was displayed in the funeral cortege with vibrant purple flowers. The procession was lead by a live brass band formed with local musicians from Bostin' Brass in honour of Ozzy's legacy. Some fans displayed hand-painted banners, while others are holding Prince of Darkness themed balloons. Many in the crowd were showing off their Ozzy tattoos in honour of the late rock legend. The icon became known as the "Prince of Darkness" in his six-decade career thanks to his on-stage antics that attracted a legion of heavy rock fans. His death drew condolences from stars including Sir Rod Stewart, Noel Gallagher and Sir Elton John. 12 Sharon wore Ozzy's ring around her neck Credit: Goff 12 Ozzy's name was displayed using pink flowers at his funeral procession Credit: Alamy

Alley Cats: hyped New York-style pizza restaurant is opening a third site in London
A few years ago, Neapolitan pizzas were all the rage. Now, that craze has burned out and a new cheesy-tomato hero has risen from its ashes – the New York pie is here to save us from the sourdough. There are loads of great NY inspired restaurants popping up across the capital, including some which are so good one store just isn't enough. Alley Cats – a spot so aggressively Italian-American that they often project episodes of the Sopranos directly onto the walls – opened in Marylebone back in 2023, before a second location came forth last year. Now, a third Alley Cats has been announced. View this post on Instagram A post shared by @alleycatspizzalondon The selected spot is on Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill, in place of previous Italian occupants Verderame. It's expected that the menu, developed by head chef Francesco Macri, will remain pretty similar to its predecessors. Expect huge 14 inch pizza bases with creative toppings like pepperoni with jalapeños and honey, and wild mushrooms with red onion jam and fried sage. If that's not your thing, there's always the classic margherita. Macri has worked across restaurants in London and Rome, so he definitely knows what he's doing. Time Out London editor Joe Mackertich particularly rated Alley Cats' creamy vodka sauce pizza when he headed to the Marylebone branch, describing it as 'every bit as moreish and comforting as the dish that inspired it'. As if that wasn't enough, you can also enjoy a range of starters, including the signature garlic and cheese bites, and a tiramisu to top it all off. We're getting hungry just thinking about it. It's not known exactly when the doors will open on the brand new pizzeria. Based on the caption on the Instagram announcement, which says the restaurant is coming 'VERY soon', it may be arriving very quickly indeed. The best pizza in London, according to Time Out.
