The Texas Observer has identified the operator of a racist and hate-filled anti-immigrant account on the social media platform X as 44-year-old James Joseph Rodden, assistant chief counsel for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Dallas area. Among the account’s hate-filled messages were “Migrants‘ [sic] are all criminals,” “It is our holy duty to guard against the foreign hordes,” and “Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders. Yet.”
