The White House took action after Sabrina Carpenter slammed them on what she called their “inhumane agenda,” strongly urging them not to use her song for their purposes.
After her powerful reaction, which came after her hit track Juno was invoked in a way she considers goes against her intentions, Donald Trump’s administration was forced to take down the video posted on X to promote ICE arrests.
On Monday, December 1, The Trump Administration shared a montage capturing recent ICE arrests while the Grammy winner’s hit song played in the background.
The video included several clips of immigration and customs enforcement officers detaining people as the lyrics “Have you ever tried this one?” were set on a loop.
“Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye [waving and heart eyes emoji],” The White House captioned the video.
However, four days later they deleted the video from its X account after the 26-year-old pop star’s viral response.
In her comment under the since-deleted post that garnered over a million likes, the Espresso hitmaker called the video “evil and disgusting.”
“Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” the Please Please Please chart topper wrote in her post on Tuesday, December 2.
Though the video is no longer available on X, where Carpenter responded, it is still posted on the White House’s TikTok account, but without the audio.
