In first week November 2025 -- Dept. Homeland Security
is again co-opting material they did not seek permission
nor pay copyright royalty - usage in mass media distribution
of an artist's unique images: family of late Magazine illustrator
PAINTER Norman Rockwell
In series of posts, the DHS - ICE is using across social media
well-known images from Patriotic / family, home-grown,
generalized groups/individuals
pairing them with anti-immigration slogans such as :
DEFEND YOUR CULTURE / Protect America Way of Life
NYTimes.com/2025/11/04/arts/design/norman-rockwell-homeland-security-
immigration.html
CNN discovered in early August 2025 that
a promotional online / social media POSTING
from Dept. Homeland Security is subverting the 1940s message
of the Woody Guthrie copyrighted song "This Land is Your
Land". Amid slick Madison-avenue images and a horse-drawn
American Flag, DHS image-makers use the background
audio - instrumental version to make an anti-immigration message :
TRICIA McCLAUGHLIN, DHS
assistant secretary answered CNN
in a statement defending the post :
We're Confident . . .
CNN.com/2025/08/05/us/this-land-is-your-land-trump-dhc-cec
the Dept. Homeland Security "music video spot"
was posted on "X" / formerly Twitter
