The White House has released a new immigration-focused video featuring pop singer Sabrina Carpenter, days after she publicly objected to the administration’s use of her music in a separate montage showing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

The original video, posted on December 1 and set to Carpenter’s hit song “Juno,” paired the upbeat track with footage of ICE agents detaining individuals, alongside captions echoing the song’s lyrics.

Carpenter denounced the post as “evil and disgusting,” insisting her work not be used to support what she called an inhumane agenda.

The video was removed shortly afterwards.

Rather than ending the dispute, the administration released a new version on a different platform.

This time, the soundtrack was replaced with an edited clip from Carpenter’s recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, in which her lip-synced dialogue was manipulated to include the word “illegal.” The clip was again intercut with arrest footage and accompanied by a message stating that criminal offenders in the country unlawfully would face arrest and deportation.

A White House spokesperson defended the updated video, reiterating that the administration remains focused on deporting what it describes as dangerous criminal offenders.

Carpenter continues to distance herself from both videos, maintaining that her image and music must not be used to promote immigration enforcement messaging she opposes.

The exchange underscores a broader debate over the use of celebrity likeness and creative work in political communication, especially in high-visibility digital campaigns.
