Summary

An investigation by the Texas Observer identified ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden as the operator of "GlomarResponder," a white supremacist X account.

The account, active since 2012, has posted racist, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content, including support for mass deportations and anti-immigrant violence.

Rodden's identity was confirmed through biographical details, court records, and social media activity. ICE has not confirmed his employment but is investigating.

Legal experts warn that his views compromise his ability to fairly represent the government in immigration proceedings. Rodden declined to comment.

A white supremacist? In ICE? I'm shocked! /s

A crazy read, and it sounds like they've done their homework. If this is accurate, and it sounds like it is, this guy is a fucking piece of shit, and I hope he loses his job and his friends.

Sidenote, Texas Observer doesn't get enough credit for what they do. From what I can tell, they seem to do good journalism—one of the few left not captured by billionaire interests or flirting with the fascists.
