The Trump administration in the US is using a clip featuring Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen to threaten immigrants. Now the film company Zentropa is demanding that the clip be taken down.

It's a well-known clip from the movie "One More Round" where a drunk Mads Mikkelsen rumbles around in a chilling dance of joy that the Department of Homeland Security used on X.

The authority has added text to the video that says, among other things, "We are going to arrest you... do you understand?", directed at immigrants and others who are in the United States without a valid residence permit.

The clip has been used without permission.

"Zentropa has not been contacted in advance and demands that the video be taken down," the film company writes in a statement to Danish TV2.

This is not the first time that US authorities have angered famous artists by using their creations for controversial social media videos without permission.

Just the other day, Sabrina Carpenter demanded that the White House stop using her music for a video that mocks immigrants and directly targeted President Donald Trump.

"Don't drag me or my music into pursuing your inhumane politics," the artist wrote on social media.
