"We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down. It ain't funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don't get to appropriate it without a fight. Also, go fuck yourselves... Radiohead"
"Other artists to have come out against ICE in recent months include Bruce Springsteen, who shared the protest anthem 'Streets of Minneapolis' following the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE agents, and Zach Bryan, who in October posted a snippet of 'Bad News,' a then-unreleased song from his new album With Heaven on Top, that featured anti-ICE lyrics."
Radiohead issued a statement to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after the Department of Homeland Security used a choral version of their song 'Let Down' in an Instagram Reel. The band demanded removal of the post, emphasizing the song's significance and their refusal to allow unauthorized appropriation. 'Let Down,' from their 1997 album OK Computer, recently charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Other artists including Bruce Springsteen and Zach Bryan have similarly protested ICE actions through their music in recent months.
