  • The White House announced five online games on its official website to promote political goals of the Trump administration.
  • One game, "Border patrol along the Rio Grande," casts users as border chief Tom Homan and asks them to catch as many undocumented immigrants as possible.
  • The retro-style games have drawn angry criticism.

The White House has turned part of its official website into what looks like a political arcade, complete with simple retro-style graphics.

Five online games announced Thursday promote several political ambitions of the Trump administration. One of them, titled "Border patrol along the Rio Grande," uses a format resembling the classic game Snake.

Players take the role of U.S. border chief Tom Homan and try to catch as many undocumented immigrants as possible. Another game lets users build Donald Trump's border wall.

The games have prompted fierce criticism, with opponents objecting to the decision to present the administration's immigration and border policies as entertainment.
