Halo-themed recruitment ads spark controversy and criticism

Key Halo series designers have condemned the Trump administration's use of Halo imagery to promote political causes, calling it offensive and a gross misappropriation of the game's themes, especially in the context of immigration enforcement. The use of Halo visuals by DHS to support ICE actions has sparked strong reactions from the original creators, who find the imagery deeply inappropriate and contrary to the game's intent. Microsoft has not responded to these incidents.
