White House Criticizes Sabrina Carpenter with More ICE Videos After Song Dispute

New Video Release by the White House
On a Friday, the White House shared a video featuring Carpenter in a clip modified from her Saturday Night Live promo. In the clip, Carpenter humorously stated, “I think I might have to arrest someone for being too hot.” The White House altered this to replace “too hot” with “illegal.” The video showed federal agents conducting arrests, accompanied by Gucci Mane’s “I Get the Bag.”
Previous Dispute Over Song Usage
This video was released shortly after another incident where the White House used Carpenter’s song “Juno” in a previous video depicting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities. Carpenter criticized their use of her music, describing the video as “evil and disgusting,” and demanded her music not be associated with such agendas.
