Leeds-headquartered holiday company Jet2 has expressed its disappointment at the use of its popular ‘Nothing Beats a Jet2 holiday’ viral meme being used by the White House social media account to mock people being deported from the United States of America in handcuffs.

The official White House Instagram and X accounts shared a deportation video with a bright, joyful pop song playing in the background, while lines of downcast, handcuffed men boarded a deportation plane. The song, known online as the Jet2 Holiday meme, is often used to poke fun at travel misadventures.
