The White House issued a blunt warning to protesters opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in New Jersey, declaring in an X post that enforcement efforts “will not be deterred,” adding, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
The phrase is notably a lyric from Taylor Swift‘s song “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince,” which appeared on her 2019 album Lover.
