The Sabrina Carpenter versus ICE controversy exploded when the White House posted a video using her song "Juno" to soundtrack immigration raid footage without permission. Pop star Sabrina Carpenter immediately condemned the video as "evil and abhorrent," refusing to let her music be weaponized for political messaging she opposed. This three-part series explores the incident's full context—from ICE's controversial history and current immigration crackdown to the disturbing practice of using catchy pop music to normalize government enforcement. VV Steele examines the power dynamics between artists and state propaganda, asking crucial questions about artistic integrity, consent, and whether pop culture should ever soundtrack "scare-tactic content" in our increasingly political world.
