White House Controversial Use of 'Juno' Song

On Monday, December 1, 2025, the White House posted a video on its official X account featuring a montage of ICE arrests.

The video used Sabrina Carpenter's song "Juno," released in 2024, as background music.

The video caption also quoted lyrics from the song "Juno": "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye," accompanied by emojis.

These lyrics, in their original context, refer to a sexual position, creating a sharp contrast to the video's content, which features footage of ICE officers chasing, tackling, and handcuffing individuals.

The video appears to promote the administration's aggressive campaign to crack down on illegal immigration, which has been ongoing since Trump's second term.

White House's Reaction

Hours after Sabrina Carpenter's criticism, the White House fired back with a sharp statement referencing Carpenter's lyrics and the title of her own album.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson issued an equally scathing response.
