Radiohead Tells Trump's Homeland Security to 'Go F-- Yourselves' After Song Used in ICE Video

Radiohead has issued a joint band statement decrying the use of the group’s song “Let Down” in a pro-ICE video, telling the U.S.’s Department of Homeland Security to “go fuck yourselves” for misappropriating the track.

A spokesperson for Radiohead said it “goes without saying it was without the band’s permission” and passed along their statement, which reads:

“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.
Also, go fuck yourselves… Radiohead.”


The text accompanying the video 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.”
