A Texas prosecutor with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reportedly ran a white supremacist social media account.
According to the Texas Observer, an ICE employee was linked with the X account @GlomarResponder, which has spouted "blatantly racist and anti-immigrant views" since 2012.
The outlet reviewed the account's posts, along with federal court records, courtroom visits, and background interviews and reported it belongs to 44-year-old James "Jim" Joseph Rodden, who is an assistant chief counsel for ICE in Dallas.
According to the Observer, Rodden represents ICE in court hearings where judges rule on deportations.
Last month, @GlomarResponder shared a post, saying “America is a White nation, founded by Whites. We are the historical and majority population, and it was founded for our benefit. Our country should favor us."
A second post from the account last month read: “My WWII vet grandfather didn't get a chance to kill asians, so he volunteered for Korea. He'd be asking for a short-term job with ICE kicking doors and swinging a baton.”
Last September, Rodden allegedly wrote on the account “All blacks are foreign to my people.”
“Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders. Yet. Give it a few more weeks at this level of invasion, and that will be the moderate position," a March 2024 post reads.
The account is no longer public.
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will not comment on the substance of this article pending further investigation, to include whether the owner of the referenced ‘X’ account is a current employee,” an ICE spokesperson said in a statement amid the report. “Notwithstanding, ICE holds its employees to the highest standards of professionalism and takes seriously all allegations of inappropriate conduct.”
