Border Patrol Uses Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Saga to Taunt Migrants

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.”

For anyone living under a rock the past week and a half, 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.

“All right, come on!” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said. “You’re OK! Uh-oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy. We’re not quite sure.”

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.
