The White House created a video game about immigrant deportations, an initiative that generated controversy. The strategy provoked criticism from various organizations that denounced the use of audiovisual means to communicate migration policies.
The Trump government keeps immigration at the center of its political communication, using this type of tools to promote its agenda on the subject. The creation of the video game is part of an approach that aims to mark constant presence in the public sphere through direct messages about immigration.
The measure arises in a context of intense debate about migration policies in the United States, with the executive opting for innovative formats in its communication. Critical organizations consider that the use of a video game to address deportations trivializes a complex humanitarian issue.
