Theo Von demands DHS remove his clip from deportation promo: ‘Send a check’

Theo Von, a comedian and podcaster who interviewed President Trump last year, has publicly rebuked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for using a clip of him without permission.

In the DHS video, a brief clip of Von saying “Heard you got deported, dude — bye” is inserted into footage depicting immigration enforcement actions, along with captions touting the agency’s numbers: “2 million in 250 days,” “1,600,000 self-deported, 400,000 deportations.”
