Comedian and podcaster Theo Von, who interviewed Trump last year during the campaign trail, has objected to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's use of his voice in a deportation-themed video posted to social media, saying he did not give permission and does not want to be associated with the campaign.
On Tuesday, DHS shared a 31-second video on X that began with a clip of Von saying, "Heard you got deported, dude — bye." The montage then displayed claims that 2 million immigrants had been deported in the first 250 days of President Donald Trump's second term, including "1,600,000 self-deported" and "400,000 deportations."
