How did Sabrina Carpenter’s warning to the White House spark another controversial video post?

In an unexpected turn of events, Sabrina Carpenter is stuck in a controversy with the White House.

This past week, Sabrina Carpenter slammed the White House for using her music to promote deportation through violent means. But the Espresso singer was quick to shut that down and didn't want to be affiliated with such actions. However, the White House did not back off, sending her a quick reply.

And now they seem to be doubling down on the message, as they have posted another video featuring the singer and SNL star Marcello Hernandez. The video opens up with a scene of the two together in an SNL episode where Sabrina states,

"I think I might need to arrest someone for being too hot."

To which Marcello responds, "Oh well, I turn myself in"

Following with the star saying, "You're under arrest"

The video continues with shots of ICE arresting people. Not only that, but the White House also edited the original line to say "illegal" instead of "too hot". The post was captioned,

"PSA: If you’re a criminal illegal, you WILL be arrested & deported. ✨"

Sabrina Carpenter comes down on the White House

The original video that Sabrina called out, although it is now deleted, featured ICE officers tackling and arresting people, using the lyric "have you ever tried this one?" from her song Juno. She commented under the post,

"this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

To which they replied,

“Here’s a Short’n’Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologise 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?”

Once again, quoting her songs. Carpenter stands in the long list of artists who have called out the government and prevented them from using their songs to push their agendas, including Beyoncé, who has openly endorsed Kamala Harris, as well as the Foo Fighters, Olivia Rodrigo, and more.
