TOKYO (AFP): Japan's wildly popular Pokemon franchise distanced itself on Friday from a recent viral US government video that linked the brand's "Gotta Catch 'Em All" slogan to Washington's immigration crackdown.
The US Department of Homeland Security posted a clip on social media platform X this week that showed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid.
