In at this time’s “Water is Nonetheless Moist” information, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prosecutor in Dallas, Texas, has been outed as a loud and proud white supremacist who thinks “America is a white nation,” “all Blacks are international,” and “migrants are all criminals,” in response to a social media account believed to belong to the agent.
Meet James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, who works as an assistant chief counsel for ICE within the Dallas space.
Rodden has been recognized by the Texas Observer and confirmed by federal courtroom data as the person behind the X account GlomarResponder, from which he posted, properly, all the pieces one would anticipate an anti-immigration fanatic who hates Black folks and might be a MAGA cultist to submit.
From the Observer:
Since GlomarResponder was first created in 2012, the account has posted hateful, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content material. “America is a White nation, based by Whites. … Our nation ought to favor us,” GlomarResponder wrote final month. “All blacks are international to my folks, dumb fuck,” the account posted in September of final yr. “Freedom of affiliation hasn’t existed on this nation since 1964 on the absolute newest,” GlomarResponder wrote 4 months prior, additional clarifying the submit was referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in a reply to a remark. “I’m not a commie, I’m a fascist,” GlomarResponder posted a pair weeks later. “Fascists resolve communist issues. Get your insults proper, retard.”
In August, GlomarResponder posted: “‘Migrants’ are all criminals.” Two months later, GlomarResponder shared an picture that reads: “It’s our holy responsibility to protect towards the international hordes.” Some GlomarResponder posts evoke anti-immigrant violence: “No one is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders,” the account posted in March 2024. “But. Give it a number of extra weeks at this degree of invasion, and that would be the reasonable place.” And in January: “My WWII vet grandfather didn’t get an opportunity to kill asians, so he volunteered for Korea. He’d be asking for a brief time period job with ICE kicking doorways and swinging a baton.”
It’s value noting that when Rodden wrote, “America is a White nation, based by Whites. We’re the historic and majority inhabitants, and it was based for our profit. Our nation ought to favor us,” it was in response to a different X person writing, “For these criticizing the idea of a colorblind meritocracy, it’s best to have the braveness to obviously state your most popular various – DEI for whites.”
So, principally, as a lot as a reprehensible racist as Rodden is, he seems to be one of many comparatively few white conservatives who will come proper out and inform the reality about what the anti-diversity, fairness and inclusion motion is actually all about.
In spite of everything, the identical individuals who advocate for that motion are promoters of the Nice Alternative Idea, which, at its core, insists that white folks have an obvious proper to be the bulk race within the U.S. (Not that minorities are handled unfairly in America or something like that, proper?) The speculation — which has not solely been embraced by conservative residents, together with white supremacist mass shooter Payton Gendron, however can be embraced by elected GOP officers — claims Black and brown immigrants are being flooded into the nation to interchange white folks.
In response to the pro-DEI X person, Rodden didn’t even hassle going with the usual white conservative narrative that DEI was permitting unqualified folks of colour to be employed over certified white males. As an alternative, he merely insisted that it was solely proper {that a} “white nation” based by white folks “ought to favor” white folks. Significantly, if solely they have been all that sincere.
Anyway, in response to the Observer, neither Rodden nor ICE have been prepared to supply a touch upon the allegation that Rodden is, certainly, the person behind the GlomarResponder account, which most likely signifies the company has no plans in addition the abhorrent bigot from its employment. Nonetheless, the Observer maintains that the “proof that Rodden operates the GlomarResponder account contains an awesome variety of biographical particulars that GlomarResponder has shared over years that align with details about Rodden, together with employment historical past, areas lived, traits of a partner, involvement in a lawsuit towards the federal authorities, peak and trend preferences, penchants for particular phrasing, and a wide range of particular pursuits and hobbies.”
In fact, if it’s true that Rodden and GlomarResponder are one and the identical (and it seems to be fairly clear that they’re), it will solely imply the ICE prosecutor would slot in completely with the present administration, which features a “border czar” who thinks it’s unlawful for immigrants to be told of their constitutional rights, and an Below Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs appointee who believes “competent white males should be in cost” of America.
White supremacy is America’s default and that’s what they’re making an attempt to make nice once more, people. It’s that straightforward.
