The White House released a series of policy-themed arcade games, including one called 'Build the Wall' modeled after Tetris, which depicts noncitizens as 'zombies' and 'aliens' attempting to cross the southern border. The Tetris Company has already responded to the game, as its creators may face copyright infringement claims from the original game's rights holders.
Background
The Trump administration has frequently used dehumanizing rhetoric about immigrants at the southern border, including referring to them as 'animals' and 'aliens.' This game release represents an escalation of that rhetoric into official government media.
