Border Patrol's Use of Michael Jackson Song with Antisemitic Lyrics Raises Questions
A video posted by U.S. Border Patrol on Facebook and Instagram two months ago has sparked controversy due to its soundtrack.
The video, which featured agents engaging in various activities, was set to a 13-second clip of Michael Jackson's 1995 song "They Don't Care About Us", specifically a version with antisemitic lyrics:
"Jew me, sue me, everybody do me, kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me."
The video was deleted on Wednesday after being reported by Gizmodo journalist Matt Novak on Bluesky.
