This is brand tarnishment pretty clearly on the trademark side, too. If not for the apparent lasso the admin has around executives' nuts with their green cards (according to the former CLO in an article), this would represent an immense amount of liability on DHS' part. I still wonder if they might nevertheless press forward with litigation just to tamp down on the brand damage tbh
ETA: also, the potential recoverable damages are actually theoretically immense in a case like this, between statutory damages per copyright infringement and loss of sales to brand tarnishment. Very low chance, asymptotic to 0 percent likelihood, but it would be immensely satisfying if this is what zeros out ICE incredible funding bump.
