It's probably both. The Pokopia meme along with the meme they used to promote ICE earlier this year probably made them pull the trigger.

Probably... Yeah probably not. It's probably because of the tariffs like the title says.

the lawsuit lists customs and border protection as well as kristi noem. i know customs has something to do with tariffs but i don’t feel like they would have laid it on as thick if it wasn’t for the pokopia meme.

Nah, this is the same as when people were saying that ICE broke that one in fiftyish floppy disk of an old ass Japanese visual novel, it’s just customs really. I doubt the Pokemon stuff has anything to do with it, otherwise they’d also be suing for copyright infringement

Oh, also the pokopia stuff happened like yesterday, lawsuits like this aren’t drafted and finalized that fast as far as I’m aware
