Earlier this week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared a video on social media that shows multiple ICE arrests set to the original Pokémon anime theme song. The post quickly went viral, drawing significant attention online.
In response, The Pokémon Company has released a statement clarifying their position. They emphasized that they were not involved in the creation of the video and did not grant permission for their intellectual property to be used in this manner.
The Pokémon Company shared their statement with several media outlets, including Kotaku, to address the use of their IP in what has been described as an ICE propaganda video. They made it clear that this unauthorized usage does not reflect their values or endorsement of the content.
