“We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
This was in response to the “Wicked” actress commenting on a TikTok video put out by the White House by saying, “please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. f*ck ice.”
The music appears to be removed from the video as of Thursday, as the outlet noted.

Like many other celebrities, Grande has made anti-ICE statements in the past. She conflated illegal immigration with lawfare attacks against President Donald Trump to her more than 270 million Instagram followers last summer.
“Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected president? It’s so confusing,” she wrote at the time, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
Then last September, the “Thank U, Next” singer shared an Instagram post that said, “immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed.”
The same month, she called out Trump voters with a snarky, sarcastic post on Instagram, asking if they were happy with their decision to select the Republican candidate to lead the country.
“I want to check in with trump voters. I have one very genuine question: 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?” the singer’s Instagram story said.
Grande publicly endorsed Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 election and subtly mocked fellow recording artist Carrie Underwood for performing at Trump’s presidential inauguration in January.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
