US Homeland Security Faces Backlash for Unauthorized Use of Japanese Artist’s Work
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is facing criticism for unauthorized use of artwork, specifically from Japanese artist Hiroshi Nagai, whose work was used in a post promoting deportations. This marks another instance of the department utilizing artists’ work, including a Thomas Kinkade painting, without permission to promote its immigration agenda. Previously, DHS faced backlash from pop stars like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter for using their music in videos that encouraged deportation efforts. The agency has defended its actions, stating their commitment to keeping Americans informed and safe, despite the growing condemnation from artists and the public.
