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 accompanied by 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 a journalist, Matt Novak, posted about it on Bluesky.
The reason behind the use of this song remains unclear, as Border Patrol has not provided an explanation.
