Pokémon and Theo Von agree on one thing: they shouldn’t be in DHS videos
The article discusses how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used Pokémon and comedian Theo Von's images and content without permission to promote their deportation campaigns. Both Pokémon's parent company and Theo Von objected to the use of their intellectual property and likeness, with Theo Von directly asking DHS to take down the video and pay him. While the Pokémon video remains, the DHS has removed the video featuring Theo Von, suggesting they may be wary of angering his fan base. The article also notes that while the Pokémon company is known for its litigious nature, a legal expert believes they are unlikely to sue over this incident, as it is expected to "blow over in a couple of days."
