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 showed agents engaging in various activities, was accompanied by a 13-second clip of Michael Jackson's 1995 song "They Don't Care About Us". The specific version used contained antisemitic lyrics, including the lines:
"Jew me, sue me, everybody do me, kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me"
The video was deleted on Wednesday, shortly after a journalist posted about it on Bluesky.
Border Patrol has not provided a reason for using the song with antisemitic lyrics.
- The video was live on Facebook and Instagram for two months.
- The song used was a "banned" version of Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us".
