The White House\u00a0<\/a>has refused to apologise to\u00a0Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>\u00a0after she laid into the\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0administration for using her song Juno to soundtrack their\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0video promoting ICE arrests.<\/p>\n The 20-second clip, posted Monday across the White House\u2019s X and\u00a0TikTok<\/a>\u00a0accounts, begins with footage of people protesting\u00a0ICE raids<\/a>\u00a0before cutting to a rapid montage of agents chasing and detaining individuals alleged to be undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n The video is edited to Carpenter\u2019s now-viral lyric from Juno:\u00a0\u2018<\/em>Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye.\u2019 The caption repeats the line, punctuated with a waving-heart-eyes emoji.<\/p>\n The White House\u2019s video is referencing the playful connotation Juno has taken on thanks to Carpenter\u2019s own staging of the song throughout her recent Short \u2019n Sweet tour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The singer incorporated a comedic \u2018arrest\u2019 gag using pink prop handcuffs, often locking up a surprised audience member or celebrity guest. Another viral moment in the show involved Carpenter teasing the crowd with a different sex position inspired pose each night, punctuated by her repeated line, \u2018Have you ever tried\u2026 this one?\u2019<\/p>\n Carpenter wasted no time distancing herself from the message, writing on X: \u2018This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.\u2019<\/p>\n Now, the White House has told\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/a>\u00a0in response: \u2018Here\u2019s a Short n\u2019 Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won\u2019t apologise for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The representative added, referencing lyrics from Carpenter\u2019s hit song Manchild, \u2018Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?\u2019<\/p>\n The backlash arrives amid a growing tension between popular artists and Trump\u2019s White House, which has repeatedly used chart-topping music in immigration enforcement videos without securing permission.<\/p>\n Just weeks ago,\u00a0Olivia Rodrigo<\/a>\u00a0blasted the administration for using her song All-American Bitch in a Department of Homeland Security\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0post depicting ICE officers tackling and deporting people.<\/p>\n \u2018Don\u2019t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,\u2019 Rodrigo wrote. That DHS video encouraged viewers to \u2018LEAVE NOW and self-deport\u2019 using a\u00a0government<\/a>\u00a0app.<\/p>\n Other musicians have sounded alarms as well. Kenny Loggins recently criticised Trump for using his song Danger Zone beneath an AI-generated video depicting the president dumping waste onto anti-Trump protestors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whether the White House will pull the video using Carpenter\u2019s song remains to be seen, but it\u2019s clear that musicians are no longer staying silent about their work being used to promote hateful agendas.<\/p>\n Trump has been criticised for deporting many migrants without a fair trial, to which he replied: \u2018You can\u2019t have a trial for all of these people.<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Look, we are getting some very bad people, killers, murderers, drug dealers, really bad people, the mentally ill, the mentally insane, they emptied out insane asylums into our country, we\u2019re getting them out.<\/p>\n \u2018And a judge can\u2019t say: \u2018No, you have to have a trial,\u2019\u201d Trump claimed. \u2018No, we are going to have a very dangerous country if we are not allowed to do what we are entitled to do.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Homeland Security claim ICE are \u2018arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens including\u00a0pedophiles, human smugglers, and thieves,\u2019 according to their official website.<\/p>\n However, government data in September showed that of the 59,762 people\u00a0in ICE detention<\/a>\u00a0across the US at the time, 16,523 had no criminal record.<\/p>\n ICE has been dubbed Trump\u2019s personal rogue agency, with him stating during his campaign trail: \u2018On day one, I will launch the largest deportation programme of criminals in the history of America.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/badvibes.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SEI_274195872-c2d2-300x200.webp\")
