The Trump White House has turned its mass-deportation campaign into an online arcade game.
The administration on Thursday added an "Arcade" to the White House website and dropped five low-resolution games promoting President Donald Trump’s political agenda, The Associated Press reported. They included one titled "Rio Run," modeled after the classic game "Snake," where players control a man resembling Trump who moves across the screen rounding up people to be “deported."
Another game resembles the classic Nintendo game “Tetris” but requires players to assemble a border wall while small green aliens rush toward what it calls "the coming horde.”
“If the wall gets too high or if too many aliens rush past the wall before it's properly built up, the player loses -- and ‘Border Breached’ flashes along the screen,” according to a TMZ report.
“The Executive Branch has jumped into the same arena as Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox,” the outlet wrote Thursday, describing the new releases as arcade games that “MAGA supporters will love.”
The three other games are less controversial. One promotes healthy school lunches, while another mimics “Flappy Bird” and features a bald eagle attempting to deliver legislation to Congress, according to the report.
The immigration-themed games arrive as the administration continues its nationwide immigration crackdown.

President Donald Trump’s new online arcade was met with instant ridicule Thursday as critics accused the White House of focusing on remaking classic video games while Americans faced soaring prices.
The administration launched a series of Trump-themed games, including “Build the Wall,” a Tetris knockoff, and “Rio Run,” which allows players to gather and “deport” potential border crossers.
But it wasn’t all fun and games for social media users, who blasted the White House for turning controversial immigration policies into entertainment while Americans struggle with rising costs.
“Average gas price across America has now risen to $4.14,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) wrote on X. “What is @WhiteHouse focused on? See below. November is coming.”
Retired intelligence officer and history teacher Travis Akers similarly argued that the MAGA administration's priorities were misplaced.
“You can’t afford gas and groceries, but Trump is spending millions of your tax dollars to make old video games,” he told his social media followers.
“Heating oil is near an all-time high but hey you can play Border Czar Tom Homan in a video game,” Connecticut state Sen. Matt Lesser wrote on X.
“They can’t be serious with this s**t smh,” popular political account Wu Tang is for the Children posted Thursday. “They literally can’t do a single thing that can actually help Americans in a meaningful way in their everyday lives.”
Oxford professor of poetry Alice E. Stallings offered a one-word reaction: “Disgusting.”
The White House, meanwhile, appeared unmoved by the criticism.
“CAN’T STOP WINNING,” the official White House account posted on X as it dropped a link to the games.
Conservative actor Kevin Sorbo offered his own take, writing: “This is hilarious," while Democratic strategist Mike Nellis simply wrote: "Stupid
