US pop star takes on 'evil' Trump deportation ads

Undeterred by Sabrina Carpenter鈥檚 scathing remarks last week, the White House has used a clip of her in another video promoting deportation. 

In a post shared to X on Friday, the White House clipped a video of Carpenter and Saturday Night Live鈥檚 Marcello Hernandez referencing one of her recurring tour segments, the Independent reported. 

The clip was filmed to promote Carpenter鈥檚 hosting duties back in October but has now been repurposed into a hardline ad against illegal immigrants. 

While Carpenter cracked 鈥淚 think I might need to arrest someone for being too hot鈥 in the original, the White House version has been edited to swap out 鈥渢oo hot鈥 for 鈥渋llegal鈥. 

Hernandez is the son of immigrants from Cuba and the Dominican Republic, according to People. 

His response 鈥渨ell, I turn myself in鈥 was followed by clips of detainments across the US. 

Carpenter has been in a war of words with the administration since December 1, when her song Juno was used in a similar Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) video, People reports. 

Captioned 鈥渉ave you ever tried this one? Bye-bye鈥, the video similarly compiled clips of Ice officers detaining alleged criminals. 

She blasted the federal agency鈥檚 use of her music in a response on X, which has since been liked 1.8 million times. 

鈥淭his video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,鈥 she wrote. 

While the video was deleted shortly after, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded to Carpenter鈥檚 comment in a statement, making a biting reference to the singer鈥檚 recent single Manchild. 

鈥淗ere鈥檚 a Short n鈥 Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won鈥檛 apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and paedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?鈥
