On Thursday, the White House launched a striking new website called 'Arcade'. This site features various classic arcade video games where players engage in activities such as expelling immigrants and building a border wall.

The games on the website are designed as a reflection of President Donald Trump's policies. These games have titles that do not disguise the nature of the activities, leading to criticism.

Several human rights organizations have voiced their concerns about the message these games convey. They point out that the games may trivialize the realities of migration issues.

The website features a total of five games dressed in a 'Make America Great Again' theme, further reinforcing the connection to Trump's policies.

The launch of this website has sparked growing outrage and discussion about the impact of such initiatives on the perception of immigrants in the United States.
