• ICE attorney James Rodden is under investigation for allegedly operating a racist, white supremacist X account, "GlomarResponder," which shared inflammatory and fascist content.
• Connections between Rodden’s X posts and his professional activities raise concerns about his ability to fairly enforce immigration laws.
• If allegations are confirmed, Rodden could face job loss, disbarment, and challenges to his prior cases.

A Texas Observer investigation reveals that James Rodden, an assistant chief counsel for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Dallas, Texas, allegedly operated a racist, white supremacist X account under the username “GlomarResponder.” The account, now set to private, made multiple racist statements, including disparaging remarks about Black people and immigrants, according to archived posts. Rodden is currently under investigation, raising questions about his future employment and potential legal repercussions.

Allegations of Racist and Fascist Posts on X

Rodden allegedly used “GlomarResponder” to post inflammatory content. The X profile included statements such as “America is a White nation, founded by Whites… Our country should favor us” and “All blacks are foreign to my people, dumb fuck.” In addition, the account criticized the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and called for “freedom of association.”

The posts weren’t limited to racial topics. The account also targeted immigrants, labeling them as criminals and sharing an image that read, “It is our holy duty to guard against the foreign hordes.” The account openly identified itself as fascist, further fueling concerns about Rodden’s ability to fairly enforce immigration laws.

Connection Between Rodden and the X Account

The Texas Observer tracked activity from “GlomarResponder” and found that its posts often coincided with Rodden’s court appearances on behalf of ICE in deportation hearings. Additionally, Rodden’s Facebook profile under his real name criticized Covid-19 vaccines, aligning with the X account’s anti-vaccination stance.

Rodden’s professional history adds another layer of complexity. A former Marine, Border Patrol agent, and public defender litigation clinic student, Rodden held positions requiring background checks and security clearances. Despite this, his alleged racist views appear to have gone undetected until now.

Potential Consequences for Rodden

The investigation has significant implications for Rodden. If the allegations are substantiated, he could lose his job, face disbarment, and have his prior cases challenged in court. The Texas Observer also reported that the “GlomarResponder” account claimed Rodden was once considered for a Trump-era Senate-confirmed position, though this remains unverified.

The Bigger Picture: Racism in ICE and Beyond

This case raises broader concerns about the culture within ICE and its tolerance for racist behavior. Racism within government agencies appears to align with policies and rhetoric from the Trump administration, which critics argue normalize white supremacist ideologies.
