Agents with the Border Patrol apprehended two Canadian teens that wandered themselves past the border into the U.S. while they were in the throes of a particularly engaging Pokémon GO session.

“Playing the game is not appropriate in the museum, which is a memorial to the victims of Nazism,” Andrew Hollinger, the museum’s communications director, told The Post in an interview. “We are trying to find out if we can get the museum excluded from the game.”

This is the original tweet that’s since been removed from Imgur:
