  • A 1990s rock band is the latest to criticize the White House and President Donald Trump for using one of its songs without permission, which was a common occurrence during the 2024 presidential election cycle.

The rock band Spoon has publicly criticized the White House for using their song "The Underdog" in a video promoting the deportation of migrants. The video, which was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the White House, aimed to highlight the Biden administration's efforts to deport individuals with criminal records. However, Spoon expressed their disapproval, stating that the song was used without their permission and that the video's message missed the point of their music entirely. The band emphasized their disagreement with the administration's immigration policies, particularly the use of their music to support what they perceive as an unjust cause. This incident has sparked a conversation about the ethics of using artists' work in political contexts without consent.
