Nagai Condemns DHS

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security faced backlash for using Hiroshi Nagai, a Japanese artist, without permission in a New Year's Eve post promoting deportations.
The image shows a vintage car on a beach with the caption "America after 100 million deportations."
Nagai condemned the unauthorized use, following prior complaints from artists about DHS's appropriation and its promotion of division.
Critics say the agency's rhetoric reflects white nationalist themes.
