Pop star Sabrina Carpenter Condemns White House's Use of Her Song in Controversial Migrant Detainment Video
Sabrina Carpenter has spoken out against the White House's controversial use of her song in a video depicting the harsh treatment of migrants. The video, which has sparked outrage, features her upbeat track 'Juno' alongside graphic footage of immigration agents detaining individuals.
In a strong statement on social media, Carpenter expressed her disapproval, stating, 'Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.' The video, posted on Monday, has already garnered over 1.2 million views, highlighting the widespread concern over the administration's policies.
President Trump's approach to immigration, which includes sending officers to forcibly round up illegal immigrants, has been met with significant controversy and legal challenges. The policy has been criticized for targeting individuals who have lived and worked in the US for decades without any criminal record.
Carpenter is not alone in her reaction; other artists have also expressed disgust at the White House's use of their music for political purposes. Olivia Rodrigo, for instance, previously warned the administration not to use her songs for 'racist, hateful propaganda.' Similarly, English singer Jess Glynne felt sick when her song was used in a similar context.
This trend of artists speaking out against the Trump administration's use of their music is not new. Other notable artists who have taken a stand include Guns N' Roses, Foo Fighters, Celine Dion, Ozzy Osbourne, and The Rolling Stones. The controversy surrounding the White House's use of music in political campaigns continues to spark discussions and debates among the public.
