The White House posted a new clip of Sabrina Carpenter after drawing her furor over a previous post that featured the use of her song Juno set to ICE raids.
The latest video features a clip of a promo for her appearance on Saturday Night Live in October, in which she said to cast member Marcello Hernández that “I think I might need to arrest someone for being too hot.” The White House version subs the word “too hot” with “illegal,” then goes into a montage of ICE arrests.
The post reads, “PSA: If you’re a criminal illegal, you WILL be arrested & deported.”
Earlier this week, Carpenter wrote that the video with her music was “evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.” She was the latest music artist to object to the use of a work in a White House video.
After Carpenter posted her objections, White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said in response: “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?”
In October, Kenny Loggins objected to the use of his song “Danger Zone” from Top Gun in an AI-generated video that depicted Trump dropping feces on No Kings protesters. “This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately,” Loggins wrote. His music remains in the video on Trump’s Truth Social account.
Last month, Olivia Rodrigo slammed Trump and DHS for using her song “All-American Bitch” in a video asking undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. to self-deport. “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” Rodrigo replied in the comments on the Instagram post.
