Sabrina Carpenter is the latest musician to blast the Trump administration over the use of her music, about a day after the official White House X account used her song “Juno” to promote ICE’s ongoing detaining and deporting of immigrants around the country.

“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” Carpenter wrote Tuesday.
The White House’s video featured a spin on Carpenter’s “have you ever tried this one” bit from the hit song, using the quip to show several instances of ICE officers chasing down, arresting and cuffing immigrants.
When asked for comment on Carpenter’s statement, or whether the White House had sought permission to use the song, a White House rep replied with several other puns referencing Carpenter’s music and lyrics.
“Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: We won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement. “Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”
Carpenter is far from the only artist who’s deplored the Trump administration and its use of their music. Last month, Olivia Rodrigo slammed the White House for the use of her song “All-American Bitch” to encourage immigrants to self-deport. Semisonic similarly called out a video using their hit “Closing Time,” saying the White House “missed the point entirely.”
Jack White and the White Stripes went as far as to sue Trump’s campaign in 2024 over the use of “Seven Nation Army,” dropping the suit the same year. He’s stayed a vocal critic of Trump since then, getting into a war of words with the White House earlier this year as he called Trump a “low life fascist.”
