The Trump administration removed a browser-based game titled "Build the Wall" from the White House website following a copyright infringement complaint. The game, which featured mechanics similar to Tetris, challenged players to fortify the U.S.-Mexico border against groups of people depicted as a "zombie siege" of illegal immigrants.
The removal occurred after the rights holder for the original game contacted the administration regarding the unauthorized use of their intellectual property. The game had been hosted on the official White House site as a digital representation of the administration's border policy goals.
