Former Pokemon Legal Chief “Wouldn’t Touch” Homeland Security Video That Used Ash Ketchum

This week, Homeland Security shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) showing arrests made by ICE agents. The video is edited with clips from the original Pokémon TV series, using the show’s famous “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” theme song. The video cleverly incorporates Pokémon imagery – for example, text identifying “The Department of Homeland Security” appears in the show’s font when a character looks up, and footage of handcuffed wrists is shown as a Poké Ball closes. Finally, those arrested are presented as Pokémon cards, with a description of their alleged crime listed under their photo.
