The White House deleted a video featuring a Sabrina Carpenter song after the pop star called the post "evil and disgusting." The post showed individuals being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement while the musician's track "Juno" played. The "Espresso" singer, 26, condemned the unauthorized use of the song on X on Tuesday, Dec. 2. "This video is evil and disgusting," she wrote. "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."
The White House's X account later posted a clip of Carpenter on "Saturday Night Live," where the singer said she plans to arrest star Marcello Hernandez as part of a comedic bit. The post encourages undocumented people to turn themselves in with the caption reading, "PSA: If you're a criminal illegal, you will be arrested and reported."
White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson hit back in a statement provided to USA TODAY, which referenced the lyrics to another Carpenter song, "Manchild." "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," Jackson said before referencing a lyric from the song. "Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"
Carpenter is just the latest pop singer to take issue with the White House's use of their music.
