Dec. 2 (UPI) — A social media video posted by the White House shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents chasing and handcuffing alleged immigrants to the music of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Juno,” and the pop star is responding on social media.

She responded with: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

The lyrics highlighted from the song are, “Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?” over video of people in handcuffs.

On Monday, the publisher of the Canadian cartoon Franklin the Turtle condemned Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s use of the Canadian cartoon character in a meme supporting the Trump administration’s attacks on boats in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.

“Franklin the turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy and inclusivity,” Kids Can Press said in a statement.

“We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

In the past, the President Donald Trump administration has taken backlash from performers for using their intellectual property in videos. Some include Olivia Rodrigo, Kenny Loggins, Taylor Swift, comedian Theo Von, MGMT and Nintendo. Some have been fully removed or their music tracks stripped. The Nintendo Pokemon video is still live on the Department of Homeland Security’s X account.
