The short video, released on Monday, includes a compilation of individuals being detained by agents from Immig­ration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is set to the tune of Carpenter's hit track Juno. "Have you ever tried this one?" the caption attached to the video reads, referencing a lyric from the suggestive song in which Carpenter asks her love interest to "try out some freaky positions". Reacting to the post on X, Carpenter said: "This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda." Carpenter previously revealed that the song, which paints a fantasy of being in love and wanting to having a baby, is a reference to the 2007 film Juno, which follows the teenage pregnancy of a high-school student. The singer's live performances of the track, in which she adopts different sexual poses on stage, have previously prompted backlash.

It's been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all - has your life gotten better? Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would or are you still waiting?

It's definitely something worth looking into and I think anyone who denies that at this point is being wilfully ignorant. The administration is taking it seriously, all causes of violence, and why these people would be driven to such evil and such hatred, and there's probably many answers to that question. The administration is focused on all of them. For individual cases, of course the FBI and the Department of Justice are leading those.
