"The White House's official TikTok is stirring controversy again. After using Wicked's "Defying Gravity" to celebrate the detention of people by ICE, it has now used Sabrina Carpenter's "Juno", which is about sex, in a bid to further promote ICE's work. Captioned, "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye", the 14-second clip shows people being pursued by ICE officers and handcuffed, while the lyric, "have you ever tried this one? repeats three times."
"Comments under the post hit out at the Trump administration for its deafening ignorance. "Oh, hell no," reads a top comment with more than 1,000 likes. "Man, can't wait for Sabrina Carpenter to complain about this," someone else commented, while another comment agreed, "I feel Sabrina would disapprove the use of this." Someone else wrote, "We are officially a Godless country." Carpenter has been a visible and vocal ally of the LGBTQ+ community. She's used her tours to raise money for LGBTQ+ causes."
The White House TikTok posted a 14-second clip of ICE officers pursuing and handcuffing people set to Sabrina Carpenter's "Juno," captioned "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye." The post followed a prior controversial use of Wicked's "Defying Gravity" to mark detentions. Social-media commenters criticized the move and predicted Carpenter's disapproval, calling the administration ignorant and morally corrupt. Carpenter is described as a visible ally to the LGBTQ+ community who raises funds for LGBTQ+ causes. The administration vowed to crack down on illegal immigration with increased raids, amid allegations of wrongful arrests and deportations by ICE.
