Sabrina Carpenter Calls ICE Video Using Her Song 'Evil'

""@WhiteHouse this video is evil and disgusting," Carpenter wrote on X in the replies to the original post. "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda." In a reference to her her Short n' Sweet tour, in which Carpenter would do a new pose each night, the video depicts ICE agents tackling people to the ground and handcuffing them with their faces pressed down while looped audio of Carpenter's chipper voice sings, "Have you ever tried this one?""

""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," spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Axios. "Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?" The final phrase is a reference to Carpenter's song "Manchild," which uses the "stupid, or is it slow?" line to critique men Carpenter is dating."

Sabrina Carpenter objected after Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted a social-media video using her song "Juno," calling the video "evil and disgusting" and demanding that her music not be used to support what she called an inhumane agenda. The clip shows ICE agents tackling and handcuffing people while looped audio from Carpenter plays. The White House responded with a December 2 statement referencing Carpenter and defending deportations of dangerous criminals, quoting a lyric to criticize her stance. Carpenter previously urged fans to donate to the National Immigration Law Center. ICE has not taken down the clip.
