The social media post, originally shared by DHS on October 2nd, were taken down on Twitter/X on Instagram on Friday. The same post has been muted on DHS's Instagram page. The Facebook version of the post remains available as of Saturday."
"The clip, titled "Life After All Criminal Aliens Are Deported," features archival footage of Donald Trump from the 1980s, alongside scenes from Twin Peaks, the NBA and NASCAR, and other random footage. "The future is bright," reads the accompanying caption. This is not the first time DHS has found itself on the wrong take of a copyright takedown. Over the summer, JAY-Z hit the government agency with a DMCA after DHS's social media channels used his song "Public Service Announcement" to promote ICE recruitment."
