- The Trump administration's DHS has been using copyrighted music and other media without permission in its social media campaigns.
- Several artists, including Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Kenny Loggins, and Olivia Rodrigo, have condemned the unauthorized use of their work.
- DHS has also used unauthorized content from Jet2.com, comedian Theo Von, Pokémon, and the video game Halo in its promotional materials.
- Despite copyright strikes and public backlash, no lawsuits have been filed against DHS for these infringements.
- DHS's actions highlight a lack of consequences for copyright violations, undermining the rule of law it claims to uphold.
