Feds use Pokémon for arrests, Pokémon says no

The Department of Homeland Security created a video combining immigration enforcement footage with Pokemon content that sparked widespread criticism. Officials used the animated series theme song and imagery while displaying arrested individuals as Pokemon trading cards alongside the franchise slogan. Pokemon Company International responded through TMZ by rejecting any connection to the government content and confirming they provided no authorization for their intellectual property usage. The company emphasized their lack of involvement in creating or distributing the controversial material that linked deportation activities with popular children's entertainment.
