Trump White House Posts Controversial Deportation Video Framed as ASMR

The official White House account shared a video of shackled immigrants being deported, sparking widespread criticism for its dehumanizing tone.

The White House released a video showing immigrants in chains being prepared for deportation, accompanied by audio of shackles and aircraft noise, labeled as 'ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight.'
ASMR refers to sounds designed to create a pleasurable sensory response, but critics condemned the use of this concept to depict human suffering.
Prominent figures and social media users have called the video 'psychopathic,' 'dystopian,' and an affront to basic human dignity.
The video has been criticized for its dehumanizing portrayal of migrants, likening them to criminals without context or justification.
The backlash highlights growing concerns over the administration's use of social media to trivialize and mock serious humanitarian issues.
