The White House continued an ongoing conflict with Sabrina Carpenter over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Posting on X, the official account shared a loud message for "criminal illegal" immigrants by using a portion of a Carpenter promo from her October "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig.

"I think I might need to arrest someone for being too hot," Carpenter initially said in the monologue. The White House dubbed over "hot" and, in a voice-over, used the word "illegal," before Marcello Hernández continued in the sketch, "Oh, well I turn myself in."

"You're under arrest," Carpenter said in the clip as footage rolled from ICE raids.

Representatives for Sabrina Carpenter, Saturday Night Live and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The unexpected feud began earlier this month after the White House unleashed a scathing response to the "Tears" singer, who blasted the administration for using her music without her permission in an ICE video.

Carpenter called the video, set to her hit song "Juno," "evil and disgusting," writing on X, "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."

When asked about the singer's comment, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital, "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. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"

Shortly after responding, the White House pulled the video from its platforms.
