Sabrina Carpenter's Shocking Reaction to White House's 2nd Pro-ICE Video Will Leave You Speechless!

The White House's social media team faced backlash this week after attempting to use pop star Sabrina Carpenter's song "Juno" in a post promoting ICE's migrant arrests. Initially, the post, which featured Carpenter's music alongside disturbing footage of immigrants being apprehended, was deleted. However, the administration quickly retaliated by posting an altered clip of Carpenter's recent commercial for her appearance on Saturday Night Live.

In the original segment, Carpenter stood next to Marcello Hernández, a cast member from the show, playfully saying, “I think I might need to arrest someone for being too hot.” Hernández responded jokingly, “Oh well, I turn myself in,” as he extended his hands as if to be handcuffed. In the White House's version, however, the audio was manipulated so that Carpenter appeared to say, “...too illegal,” while Hernández mimicked the same gesture.

The caption accompanying the new video on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) read: “PSA: If you’re a criminal illegal, you WILL be arrested & deported.” Following the altered footage, the post continued with graphic images of immigrants being chased and detained by authorities. The original post had utilized Carpenter’s lyrics in a manner that many found inappropriate, with the repeated line “Have you ever tried this one?” accompanying scenes of migrants being tackled.

Carpenter responded to the original video, stating, “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.” Her team has not provided additional comments regarding the latest alteration. The initial video was removed from X, although a version on TikTok remained, sans the contentious audio.

The White House's retort to Carpenter's objections was notably provocative. Abigail Jackson, a spokesperson, told CNN, “Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”

This incident is part of a broader trend where the White House appears to use celebrity culture to manipulate public perception regarding immigration. The administration has previously used content from prominent artists to bolster its messaging; for instance, a video utilizing Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" was shared in a montage glorifying former President Donald Trump. That video remains online, showcasing a tactic that raises questions about the ethical boundaries of using popular culture in political messaging.

As the debate around immigration and its portrayal in media continues, this episode highlights the contentious relationship between art and politics, especially in an era where social media platforms serve as battlegrounds for political narratives. The use of a beloved artist's music without consent reflects broader issues of representation and advocacy, provoking reactions from fans and activists alike.
