Wednesday, December 3, 2025 - Singer Sabrina Carpenter has slammed the White House after her hit song “Juno” was used in a social media video promoting immigration arrests, prompting a sharp rebuke from a presidential spokesperson.
Carpenter reacted on Tuesday, December 2, after the White
House posted a montage of Department of Homeland Security arrests set to the
lyric “Have you ever tried this one?” from her chart-topping track. The singer
condemned the video as “evil and disgusting”, adding: “Do not ever involve me
or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
In a statement to TMZ, White House spokesperson Abigail
Jackson fired back, saying: “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. Anyone who would defend
these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”
The clip sparked immediate backlash online, coming just days
after fellow pop star Olivia Rodrigo criticised the administration for using
her music in a separate deportation-related post, which she called “racist,
hateful propaganda”.
The White House has not removed the video and continues to
defend its use, saying it highlights efforts to target violent offenders.
