On Monday, DHS shared a video on X with the caption, "Gotta Catch 'Em All," the slogan widely associated with the animated series.

The video features clips that appear to show raids and arrests, edited together with footage from the animated series' opening sequence.

The Pokémon Company International told Newsweek: "We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property."
