The White House released a video manipulation of Sabrina Carpenter

of the United States presidential Donald Trump’s administration has released a manipulated video pop star Sabrina Carpenter to promote the country’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, ICE.

The White House published A video edited on his X account From Carpenter’s Fresh Saturday Night Live -performance. The situation itself is genuine. In the video, Carpenter stands as an actor Marcello Hernandez next to.

However, in the version shared by the White House, the video’s soundtrack has been edited to make it sound like Carpenter is calling Hernández “illegal” rather than “hot.”

Hernández is an American, and his parents are from Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

A couple of days previously, Carpenter had criticized the Trump administration for using the singer Juno-song in another video that dealt with the deportation of migrants.

A now-deleted video posted on the White House’s official X account showed immigration officials chasing people and handcuffing them. In the video, the lyrics of Carpenter’s song play: “Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?“

The lyrics could be translated into Finnish: “Do you want to try strange positions? Have you ever tried this?”

Carpenter described the video shared by the White House as “evil and sickening.”

“Don’t ever involve me or my music in furthering your inhuman goals”, the singer wrote in X.

Carpenter and several other artists have requested that their material not be used in US government communications.

Among them are ABBA, Bruce SpringsteenThe Rolling Stones, Semisonic, Adele, Celine Dion, BeyoncéR.E.M., The White Stripes, Neil Young and Rihanna, says Euronews.

Britain’s public broadcasting company The BBC reports previously, that also a Canadian children’s book series Franklin’s the publisher has been embroiled in controversy with the Trump administration.

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth published an edited cartoon on social media in which Franklin the turtle is in a military helicopter shooting drug criminals.
