The standoff between pop star Sabrina Carpenter and the White House intensified over the weekend, as officials reposted a new video featuring her likeness just days after removing a previous post that included her music.
According to PEOPLE, Carpenter had already blasted the administration for pairing one of her songs with footage of Immigration arrests. That initial video vanished from official accounts shortly after her public rebuke.
However, instead of backing off, the White House adopted a new approach.
In the updated clip, officials used doctored footage from Carpenter’s Saturday Night Live promo with cast member Marcello Hernández. The original skit played on her tradition of jokingly “arresting” celebrities during her Short n’ Sweet tour. The edited version shifted her scripted word “hot” to “illegal.”
“I think I might need to arrest someone for being too illegal ,” Carpenter appears to say in the altered clip. Hernández responds, “Well, I turn myself in.”
