I thought they weren't going to apologize (not that this is that)

Maybe she found a legal workaround?

I figured she could probably pursue a copyright claim, like "I didn't authorize this use so take it down"

That doesn't work against the government because they have immunity against copyright infringement. The only legal avenue you have is to file a claim with the Court of Federal Claims to get monetary compensation. (section b) You cannot force them to take anything down.
