The intersection of art and political enforcement has hit discordant notes as one of the most celebrated rock bands in history enters a legal skirmish with the United States government. The intersection of art and political enforcement has hit discordant notes as one of the most celebrated rock bands in history enters a legal skirmish with the United States government. Radiohead, a group famously protective of its intellectual property and ideological independence, has issued a stern demand for the immediate removal of a social media post by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The band, long known for its criticism of systemic alienation and government overreach, said the use of the song from their album OK Computer was an appropriation they would not accept without a fight. ICE had not publicly responded to the demand at the time of publication.
