A video posted by U.S. Border Patrol on Facebook and Instagram two months ago has sparked controversy due to its use of a Michael Jackson song with antisemitic lyrics.
The video, which was live for two months, featured agents engaging in various activities, including picking up guns and trawling the desert in trucks and off-road vehicles. The caption read, "The mission doesn’t wait."
"Jew me, sue me, everybody do me, kick me, kike me, don’t you black or white me."
The song used in the video was the "banned" version of Michael Jackson's 1995 song "They Don't Care About Us," which includes the aforementioned antisemitic lyrics. The video was deleted on Wednesday after Gizmodo journalist Matt Novak posted about it on Bluesky.
