Singer Slams Trump Admin for Using Song in ICE Video

Swedish singer Zara Larsson recently criticized the Trump administration for using her song 'Midnight Sun' in a government-produced video. The clip, which featured compiled footage of ICE agents arresting individuals, was posted with the caption "Never-ending deportations." Larsson shared a video response on TikTok expressing her dismay, stating that the use of her song was a misrepresentation of its message about nature and people.

Larsson emphasized that the video was 'dehumanizing' and failed to acknowledge the humanity of the people depicted. She highlighted her privilege of being born in Sweden with access to education and opportunities, contrasting it with the circumstances of those seeking a better life. The singer stated that her song was meant to convey connection to nature, the universe, and humanity, not to soundtrack images of deportation.
