Fire ICE Prosecutor James Rodden for White Supremacist Activities

Outrageous revelations about James Joseph Rodden, an ICE Assistant Chief Counsel in Dallas, have identified him as the operator of the overtly racist and white supremacist X (formerly Twitter) account, "GlomarResponder." This account has consistently promoted hateful, xenophobic, and fascist content, which is entirely incompatible with the values of fairness, impartiality, and justice that our legal system and government agencies are supposed to uphold. The evidence, documented in an investigative report by the Texas Observer (https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-dallas-white-supremacist-x-account/), shows Rodden's involvement in spreading hate speech and advocating for discriminatory practices. His actions not only undermine the integrity of ICE but also pose a serious threat to the rights and safety of immigrants and minority communities. Rodden's public expressions of racism, xenophobia, and support for fascist ideologies raise grave concerns about his ability to act impartially in his role as a prosecutor. An attorney expressing such views cannot be trusted to administer justice fairly, especially in immigration removal hearings where the lives and futures of individuals are at stake. Demand the immediate termination of James Joseph Rodden from his position at ICE. Furthermore, call for a thorough investigation into how such extremist views were allowed to go unchecked within the agency and for measures to ensure that no other employees are engaging in similar conduct. It is imperative that our government agencies reflect the principles of equality, justice, and respect for all individuals. Allowing someone with Rodden's documented hateful beliefs to hold a position of power within ICE is a betrayal of these principles and a danger to the communities they serve. Take swift and decisive action to remove Rodden from his position and to implement policies that prevent such incidents in the future.
