The popstar took to social media upon discovering her song ‘Juno’ had been used in a 21-second video posted by the White House’s accounts. In the song, Carpenter sings about “freaky positions”, asking: “Have you ever tried this one?”.

Now, Carpenter has hit out at Trump for using her music in the video, calling the video “evil and disgusting”.
“Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda”, she went on to add.

Carpenter joins a wave of musicians who have spoken out against Trump’s ICE raids. Olivia Rodrigo attended anti-ICE protests in June, adding that she was “deeply upset” over the “violent deportations of my neighbors under the current administration”.
RecommendedShe then hit out at ICE for using her song in a video encouraging self-deportation, writing: “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.” ICE videos using the music of MGMT and The Cure were also removed due to official takedown requests.
Meanwhile, Addison Rae said she was “disappointed and disturbed” by Trump’s ICE raids, adding: “This country could not exist without immigrants”. Shakira would also speak out against Trump’s immigration policy, sharing that she lived in “constant fear” as an immigrant in the US.
Following the raid he witnessed, Bad Bunny would also declare that his world tour would not come to the United States as he was afraid of ICE agents raiding his shows.
He was later announced as the headliner for next year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, where Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski and US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem confirmed that ICE agents would be present at the Super Bowl and that illegal immigrants would not be safe there.
