ICE Prosecutor Allegedly Operated Racist Social Media Account

James Rodden, an ICE attorney in Texas, is under investigation after being linked to a white supremacist account on X that shared racist and anti-immigrant content.

• James Rodden, an assistant chief counsel for ICE in Dallas, has been identified as the operator of a white supremacist X account, according to investigative reporting by the Texas Observer.
• The account, GlomarResponder, posted racist, anti-immigrant, and fascist content, including claims that 'America is a White nation' and derogatory remarks about Black and immigrant communities.
• Investigators linked Rodden to the account through public records, court appearances, and social media activity, including posts made during court proceedings where he was present.
• ICE has confirmed an investigation into the allegations but has not verified whether Rodden is the account owner, stating that the agency holds employees to high professional standards.
• Legal experts have raised concerns about Rodden's ability to impartially represent ICE in court, with potential implications for past cases he worked on if the allegations are confirmed.
