Sabrina Carpenter hits out at 'disgusting' White House video
Sabrina Carpenter has hit out at an "evil and disgusting" White House video of migrants being detained that uses one of her songs.
"Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda," the pop star posted on X. The White House used part of Carpenter's upbeat song Juno over pictures of immigration agents handcuffing, chasing and detaining people.
It was posted on social media on Monday and has been viewed 1.2 million times so far. President Trump's policy of sending officers into communities to forcibly round up illegal immigrants has proved controversial, with protests and legal challenges ongoing.
Mr Trump promised the biggest deportation in US history, but some of those detained have been living and working in the US for decades and have no criminal record. Carpenter is not the only star to express disgust over the administration's use of their music.
Olivia Rodrigo last month warned the White House not to "ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda" after All-American Bitch was used in a video urging undocumented migrants to leave voluntarily.
