The White House has got people up in arms after sharing a ‘distasteful’ video in relation to deportations.

Before becoming President, Donald Trump insisted to his MAGA supporters that he would take a very strong stance on immigration.

However, both his supporters and critics were left stunned after a stunt pulled by the White House social media page.

Posting on Twitter on Tuesday, the page shared an ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) video depicting the deportation of immigrants.

The clip shows individuals being handcuffed before they are escorted on to airplane. The audio aspect of the video focusses on the roar of the jet engine, the jingle of handcuffs as well as the sound of steps walking on to the plane.

This video has been very poorly received on social media with many Twitter users calling the footage ‘disturbing’.

One person commented: “I have no words to even describe how much this post makes me sick. One of the most disturbing things I have seen on the internet ever.”

Another said: “Terrible optics, be serious, remigration is not funny, if you're doing it treat it with the dignity that befalls a human, since you are changing the course of the rest of their life.”

A third disgusted person added: “Why is treating human beings this way entertainment for you?”

With another outraged person commenting: “Does anyone else think the way this is portrayed is really sad? I understand the want for deportation (I personally disagree however), but why glorify it and meme it like this? Isn't this a little scary coming from the White House X page?”

This isn’t the first time in recent weeks the White House Twitter page has come under first for insensitive posts.

Last month, Selena Gomez shared a now-deleted video on Instagram of her crying over upcoming deportations of immigrants.

The star did face criticism for the video but not long after the conversation died down on the topic, the White House released a video in response.

The video featured mothers whose children had been murdered by illegal immigrants, and each of them defended Trump’s hard stance.

In a caption the page wrote: “Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin were murdered by illegal aliens.

"Their courageous mothers had something to say to @SelenaGomez and those who oppose securing our borders.”

Kayla Hamilton’s mother, Tammy Nobles, said in the video: “What about our children who were brutally murdered and raped and beat to death and left on the floor by these illegal immigrants.

“You don’t know who you are crying for. They didn’t cry for our daughters."
