"The 14-second clip, posted across The White House's social media accounts on 1 December, shows people being chased and handcuffed by ICE officers. The lyric "Have you ever tried this one?" from Carpenter's "Juno" plays every time a person is captured by an ICE officer. "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye," reads the video's caption, alongside waving and heart-eyes emojis. Responding directly to the video on X, formerly Twitter, yesterday (2 December), Carpenter wrote: "This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.""
"Now, a White House spokesperson has addressed Carpenter's criticism, using her own album title and song lyrics to mock her. "Here's a Short n' Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter," the statement reads, referencing Carpenter's Short n' Sweet album, which was released last year. "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?" the response rounded off, referencing lyrics from Carpenter's hit "Manchild", which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 back in June."

The clip paired the lyric "Have you ever tried this one?" with each capture and captioned the video "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye," with emojis. Carpenter condemned the video on X, calling it "evil and disgusting," and her response drew over 1.1 million likes. A White House spokesperson replied by referencing Carpenter's Short n' Sweet album and quoted lyrics, defended deportations as targeting "dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles," and mocked her defenders.
