Radiohead just issued a bold response after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used their song in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) promotional video without their permission.
In a video posted to ICE's social media accounts on Wednesday, Feb. 18, a choral version of the group's song “Let Down” serves as the soundtrack. The clip shows a collage of pictures of victims of violent crime, including Laken Riley and Mollie Tibbetts—who were both murdered by individuals without legal immigration status.
The video's caption reads, “Thousands of American families have been torn apart because of criminal illegal alien violence. American citizens raped and murdered by those who have no right to be in our country. This is who we fight for. This is our why.”
In response to "Let Down" being used in the post, a spokesperson for Radiohead said to Variety that it “goes without saying it was without the band’s permission” before providing a statement from Radiohead themselves.
“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," the statement reads. "Also, go f--k yourselves… Radiohead.”

Radiohead joins artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, and more who have denounced the Trump administration for using their music without permission.
In November, the White House and DHS posted a video to Instagram encouraging those without legal status to self-deport to their countries of origin. The clip was set to Rodrigo’s “all-american b—h.”
In the comment section, the 22-year-old pop star called out the Trump administration for using her song without her permission and for reasons she does not agree with.
“Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” she wrote.
Similarly, in December, the official White House account posted a video showing what appears to be ICE officers detaining protesters set to Carpenter’s hit “Juno.”
The caption—a play on the song’s lyrics—read, “Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye” with two emojis.
In the replies, Carpenter made her feelings known about her music being used for pro-ICE content, writing, “this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
