Swedish pop star Zara Larsson has condemned the White House for using one of her most recognisable songs in a social media reel.
The clip used Larsson's Midnight Sun in a video appearing to show immigration enforcement raids. The song has since been removed from the post, but the video is still visible on the White House's TikTok feed.
The video is captioned "never ending deportations", riffing on Larsson's lyrics "never-ending midnight sun".
In the reaction video that has already clocked up more than 4.2 million views on TikTok, she tells her followers the White House video is "so dehumanising".
