Thank you for posting the links.

"We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand," The Pokémon Company International said in a statement shared with IGN. "Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property."

Idk, this doesn't seem to me like they are saying they don't condone it. It's more like a kid in class is caught writing something on the wall and the teacher asks another student what happens the the other student says they saw him do it but but they didn't help or tell him to do it.
