The White House set off a firestorm when its official X account posted a montage of ICE arrests on December 1, 2025, set to a looping lyric from Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Juno,” and the pop star didn’t take it quietly. Carpenter called the clip “evil and disgusting” and demanded her music not be used to “benefit your inhumane agenda,” a scolding that lit up social media and press coverage.
The Biden administration’s—or rather, the White House’s—response was unapologetic and blunt, with a spokesperson saying they “won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles,” and even tossing back a harsh line that anyone defending those criminals must be “stupid, or is it slow.” That terse, take-no-prisoners tone only added fuel to the debate about law, order, and who gets to control the narrative.
Let’s be clear: Americans want secure borders and functioning law enforcement, not virtue-signaling celebrities lecturing the country from their Manhattan condos. If the White House wants to show that the government is enforcing the law, it’s doing its job by informing citizens about real enforcement actions, and the pop-industry outrage shouldn’t distract from public safety.
This isn’t an isolated tantrum from a pop star. Artists from across the modern celebrity-industrial complex have repeatedly blasted government uses of their music when politics and policy collide, and the pattern is predictable—celebrity screams when their art is used to defend something they don’t like. The wider pattern of musicians slamming government posts only reveals how politicized the entertainment world has become.
Fans and taxpayers alike are tired of this double standard: celebrities cash massive paychecks and enjoy American protections while lecturing the rest of us about compassion and rights. If someone wants to live off the freedoms and markets of this country, they should stop automatically siding with open-borders messaging that puts Americans at risk and shuts down honest policy debate.
In the end, this kerfuffle shows who’s really out of touch with everyday Americans who worry about crime and illegal immigration — and who’s playing politics. Carpenter’s post came on December 2, 2025, and the back-and-forth that followed should remind patriotic citizens that defending the rule of law is not a partisan sin but a necessity for safety and sovereignty.
