Border Patrol Uses Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Saga to Taunt Migrants
Briefly

The El Paso sector of the U.S. Border Patrol has used a viral Coldplay kiss cam video to mock migrants. The video shared by Fox News features a clip from a concert where a couple attempts to hide from the camera. This originated during a Coldplay performance in Massachusetts, where the band called attention to a couple ducking away from the camera amid humorous speculation. Following the incident, the couple, Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, resigned from their positions at a tech company due to the ensuing controversy.
The El Paso sector of the U.S. Border Patrol has jumped on the Coldplay kiss cam debacle to troll migrants. The video, shared by Fox News on X Friday morning, shows the all-too-familiar viral clip with a caption: "The face you make when Border Patrol walks in and you're an illegal alien."
The saga began at a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on July 16 while couples were seen on the Gillette Stadium Jumbotron as the band played A Sky Full of Stars. But when the camera zeroed in on one couple, they suddenly ducked out of the shot, desperately trying to hide their faces.
The couple was quickly identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR manager, Kristin Cabot. Both have since resigned as the tech company launched an investigation into the matter.
