ICE

My comments toward ICE and racism are directed at statements that it is racist to deport illegals and the only reason it is being done is because they are brown...if someone is an obvious racist I would not defend them.
But, if the ICE prosecutor is making statements like “America is a White nation,” that “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and that “All blacks are foreign to my people" how can you say he isn't doing it because they are brown?
If so, he's racist.
If the act of deporting illegals is racist then Obama and Clinton were racist.
Why can't an individual be a POS racist without the act of deportation being racist?
You know I'm not in any way arguing that the "only reason for deportations" is racism.
But, this guy is obviously racist, should not be allowed to work for ICE after what was found out. But certainly not as an assistant chief counsel. They hired him back with this knowledge. That screams to me that in the decision-making levels of this organization, we have racism.
It’s not racist in and of itself to deport illegal immigrants. It is racist to call them “illegals.”

I have zero doubt there are individuals in government that are racist. There are bad apples anywhere. If this claim from the publication is true, I hope he quickly is an ex-government employee.
He was removed and appears to be reinstated. If he was an "individual" racist, why would he be reinstated by non-racists? Or, the more logical idea is that ICE now has a significant racist element to it.
Yep. Their ability to rationalize a position in the face of overwhelming evidence is remarkable.
Lmao, so illegal immigrants is fine but illegals is racist. You just love to prove my point.
Calling them brown is fine but illegals is taboo. Wow!

Is there another source for this besides a BlueSky post?
I think you are giving too much credit. It is pretty easy to make bad faith arguments that support ones preconcieved position on a subject.
I think a lot of people want plausible deniablity for having reprehensible views and they think playing games like this gives them that. The joke is on them though.
IMHO, undocumented works best for the vast majority. We both agreed that the people that came here over the past few decades because the nation was giving them high paying (for them) jobs were migrating for a reason, and that reason was to work at the offered jobs, not to purposefully break laws. If they could have signed a work permit, nearly all would have. The system did not document them but otherwise accepted them to get licenses, pay taxes etc. Unless we are going to start calling every company that hired them "illegal walmart" or "illegal Hormel", "illegal homeowner hiring the landscaper" etc that moniker isn't right.
Now, people coming across to run drugs, traffic sex, tax fraud etc, sure, clearly illegal immigrant fits.
