On Monday, the White House X account posted a video showing migrants being apprehended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, featuring Sabrina Carpenter’s track “Juno.”

Carpenter responded on Tuesday via her own X post, condemning the White House’s video as “evil” and “inhumane.” She stated, “this video is evil and revolting. Do not ever use me or my music to further your inhumane agenda.”

Politicians, particularly President Donald Trump, have a track record of utilizing musicians’ work without consent. There’s even a Wikipedia page dedicated to this: Musicians opposing Donald Trump’s use of their music.

The White House has previously engaged in sharing memes, AI-generated content, and viral social media videos that strip undocumented immigrants of their humanity, a move favored by Trump’s backers. The administration’s publication of an ICE video that distressed a celebrity is a deliberate element of this tactic.

The song “Juno” has gained viral popularity. It played a key role in Carpenter’s “Short n’Sweet” tour, where she introduced a new simulated sex position in the choreography of the song during every performance. The lyrics, “Have you ever tried this one?” are being repurposed by the White House for another viral occasion.

The White House swiftly replied to Carpenter’s comment.

A spokesperson informed Fox News Digital: “Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we will not apologize for removing dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our nation. Anyone who would defend these vile monsters must be foolish, or is it just slow?”
