Singer Sabrina Carpenter lashed out Tuesday at the White House for using a song of hers in a video depicting immigration raids, and asked not to be involved in what she called an “inhumane agenda.”
“This video is evil and disgusting,” Carpenter wrote on the X social network. “Don’t ever involve me or my music in your inhumane agenda,” he added.
The song used, ‘Juno’, one of the two-time Grammy Award-winning artist’s most popular songs, expresses a very intense romantic and sexual desire for another person.
The White House used a clip repeating the phrase “Have you ever tried this one?” to accompany images of aggressive arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

This is not the first time Donald Trump’s administration has resorted to viral songs to promote its policies, nor is it the first time an artist has publicly disassociated himself from the message.
Canadian children’s book publisher Kids Can Press posted a message along these lines after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shared a modified cover of ‘Franklin the Turtle’ in which the character is shown aiming a bazooka at ships.
The name of this fake delivery is: “Franklin confronts narcoterrorists”.
“We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values,” the editorial stated after assuring that the turtle “represents kindness, empathy and inclusion,” reported Agencia EFE.
