The White House responded to criticism from singer Sabrina Carpenter after she objected to them using her song, ‘Juno,’ in a TikTok video highlighting recent ICE arrests. Carpenter called the use of her song ‘disgusting’.
The White House stated, according to Deadline, that they have no regrets about removing dangerous criminals – including those who have committed murder, rape, and pedophilia – from the country.
The White House added: ‘Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?’
The video, released on Monday, shows a montage of individuals being detained by ICE agents.
The video featured a song by Carpenter that’s known for its suggestive lyrics about intimacy. It was captioned with a playful question – ‘Have you tried this one? Bye-bye’ – and a heart-eyes emoji.
Carpenter quickly criticized the decision, posting a strongly worded message to the official White House X account.
Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.
The popstar strongly condemned the video, calling it awful and offensive. They demanded their music and image not be used to support what they described as a cruel and inhumane cause.
Those who support the Trump administration spoke in favor of the video, highlighting the President’s strict policies regarding immigration and the increased activity of ICE in cities across the country.
Comments on the unconventional use of the pop song were mixed.

Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye 🥰

A user shared that they are a dedicated Latino worker putting in 75 hours a week. They emphasized they are a law-abiding citizen who immigrated legally, pays taxes, and speaks English. They expressed their love for the country and stated they supported the policies in place, prioritizing the safety and well-being of their family.
I think a big part of their success came from how they leaned into humor and satire, especially after Olivia Rodrigo spoke out about her music being used in Trump’s campaigns. It felt like a clever response and really resonated with a lot of people, including me.
‘Yo, whoever is running this page is actually so funny,’ said one user.
Another said, ‘This edit is diabolical! Freaking gold!’
People also protested by highlighting President Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender, and shared related memes to draw attention to the problem.
One opponent expressed hope that Carpenter would take legal action against the White House, and another person asserted that the country had become secular.
Earlier this month, a video on Instagram used Olivia Rodrigo’s song “All-American B” to suggest that undocumented immigrants should leave the United States, implying negative consequences if they don’t.
A scene depicted forceful arrests by immigration officials, accompanied by the message: ‘If ICE finds you.’
A separate video showed people appearing cheerful while leaving the country, accompanied by the message: ‘If you choose to leave on your own.’
Okay, so I saw this video online, and honestly, it was terrifying. The caption basically told people to just… leave the country right now and use this app, the CBP Home app, to do it themselves. It was so harsh! And then it threatened consequences if they didn’t comply. I’ve been replaying it in my head all day, it’s just… wow. It felt so aggressive and unsettling. I can’t stop thinking about it!
Rodrigo was furious at her material being used to impart such a message.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security previously told TMZ that the United States deeply appreciates its federal law enforcement officers and the work they do to protect everyone.
‘We suggest Ms Rodrigo thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.’
Another social media post from the White House earlier this month raised eyebrows when it spoofed Taylor Swift’s The Fate of Ophelia to The Fate of America.
As a longtime fan of both Taylor Swift and politics, I’ve noticed a lot of people online are talking about how Donald Trump has often gone after Taylor. It’s interesting because Taylor consistently uses her platform to back Democratic candidates, and it’s clear there’s a history there. It really highlights the clash between their worlds!
