    Sabrina Carpenter vs ICE - History & Context ICE, Immigration Politics, and Pop Culture Collide

The episode reveals why immigration enforcement is such a cultural flashpoint and how the government's decision to use Sabrina's music wasn't just copyright violation—it was dragging a young artist into one of America's most divisive political debates without consent.
