Uh... I think somebody is being played.

There is no official seal of the “government” of the United States.

There is an “Official
Seal of the United States of America” and that’s it. After that seals for certain offices like the President, Cabinet departments and such. But the “government” of the U.S.is not actually an entity. There is no such “seal”.

Tell that to the US Government, then, the author of and entity responsible for that website.

In their own words, they refer to it as, and I quote, "The Great Seal" of the Government of the United States.

You can defend this Spanish Language Official Seal on our government's website further if you want, please, by all means, be my guest.

Website says further:

The Great Seal of the United States Official information and services from the U.S. government The design of the obverse (front) of the Great Seal, which is the coat of arms of the United States, is used by the government in many ways. It appears in some form on coins, postage stamps, stationery, publications, flags, military uniforms, public monuments, public buildings, passports, and other items the U.S. government has issued, owns, or uses. The Seal can be affixed only by an officer of the Department of State, under the authority of its custodian, the Secretary of State. Symbolically, the Seal reflects the beliefs and values that the Founding Fathers attached to the new nation and wished to pass on to their descendants. The most prominent feature is the American bald eagle supporting the shield, or escutcheon, which is composed of 13 red and white stripes, representing the original states; and a blue top which unites the shield and represents Congress. The motto "E Pluribus Unum" ("Out of Many, One") alludes to this union. The olive branch and 13 arrows denote the power of peace and war, which is exclusively vested in Congress. The constellation of stars denotes a new state taking its place and rank among other sovereign powers.
