The official United States administration account published a post on Instagram showing the superhero catching a group of men in his web. The caption on the picture stated that friendly neighbors are ICE agents, and the White House also threatened illegal aliens with deportation.

Demands for Lawsuits

The post sparked anger among social media users who demanded its immediate removal. Many critics called on Marvel and Sony to file a lawsuit against the White House over the unauthorized use of the Spider-Man character.

Earlier, United States President Donald Trump banned birth tourism in the country. Trump said the practice had become a big business and that his administration was stopping it.
