WHITE HOUSE RELEASES VIDEO GAMES PROMOTING DEPORTATION AND BORDER WALL

The White House has unveiled a website featuring classic arcade-style video games with themes promoting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

The games allow players to carry out actions including deporting migrants and building a wall along the US-Mexico border, as the Trump administration intensifies its crackdown on undocumented migrants.

One of the games, “Rio Run,” is an updated version of Snake and features US border czar Tom Homan chasing migrants of different skin colours near the Rio Grande.

Another game, “Build the Wall,” is based on Tetris and challenges players to construct a border wall while protecting the US border from what its instructions describe as a “coming horde.”

A third game involves collecting nets to fill so-called Trump Accounts, investment accounts containing a $1,000 government deposit for children born between 2025 and 2028.

The White House promoted the games on X using the “Make America Great Again” slogan and a logo styled after the branding of video game company Sega.

The administration said the project was designed to communicate Trump’s achievements through entertainment and contrast what it described as a culture of “fun and winning” with the Democrats’ political vision.

Rights groups, however, condemned the website, accusing the administration of trivialising the experiences of migrants facing arrest, detention and deportation.

Amerika Garcia Grewal, co-director of the Frontera Federation in Texas, said the games were disturbing because they turned policies affecting people’s lives into entertainment.

Adriana Jasso of AMIGOS San Diego Community also criticised the arcade-style approach, saying it reflected a lack of seriousness toward the consequences of immigration enforcement.

Trump campaigned on a promise to deport millions of undocumented migrants and has introduced measures since returning to power aimed at accelerating deportations and reducing illegal border crossings.
