The White House deleted a controversial social media video promoting Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests that featured pop star Sabrina Carpenter's song "Juno," but quickly escalated the dispute by posting a new video using altered footage from her "Saturday Night Live" appearance.
The original video, posted Monday on the White House's official X account, showed ICE agents detaining migrants while repeatedly playing the lyric "Have you ever tried this one?" from Carpenter's hit song. The 21-second clip was captioned "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye" with waving and heart emojis.
Carpenter, 26, responded Tuesday on X.
"This video is evil and disgusting," Carpenter wrote. "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."
