An ICE prosecutor tied to a white supremacist X account is back arguing deportation cases in Dallas, even after lawmakers said his racist, violent posts made him unfit to represent the government. An attorney working for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) who allegedly made racist, harmful remarks on social media is now back at work. The Texas Observer reports the ICE prosecutor, James Rodden, was previously identified as the operator of “GlomarResponder” — an X account that posted white supremacist, anti-immigrant statements and content — while he was serving as assistant chief counsel in Dallas. The social media account shared messages to its thousands of active followers describing America as a “white country,” painted migrants as criminals, and referred to Black people as “foreign to my people.” Xenophobic, bigoted, and anti-semetic statements have also been repeatedly shared. After the account was exposed in 2025 by The Observer, members of Congress and civil rights lawyers demanded an investigation, declaring Rodden unfit to represent the government in immigration court. “When the representative of the United States in our immigration courts is motivated by bigotry, racism, xenophobia, anti-immigrant bias and hatred of immigrants, this seriously interferes with the administration of justice and undermines the integrity of our legal system,” read a formal complaint shared by CBS News.

The account has over 17,000 followers and has routinely posted hateful statements, including that “America is a White nation,” that “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and that “All blacks are foreign to my people,” in addition to posts with apparent praise of Adolf Hitler. After the Observer’s initial story was published, Rodden was apparently pulled from federal immigration court schedules. Three members of Congress sent letters to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security demanding an investigation into Rodden. ICE responded in a letter last March to Congressman Marc Veasey, who represents part of Dallas, stating that the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) “understands the seriousness of the allegations and will ensure the allegations are addressed appropriately, fairly, and expeditiously” and that typically “OPR administrative investigations are completed within 120 days.” ICE has not provided any further information since. Upon receiving a tip from an attorney who represents immigrants in removal proceedings at the Dallas Immigration Court, the Observer arrived at the courtroom of Judge Deitrich H. Sims Tuesday afternoon ahead of the day’s merits hearings for federal immigration cases. When the Observer opened the door to the courtroom, Rodden was sitting at the prosecutors’ desk. A court clerk said the Observer was not allowed to sit in on the hearings. The Observer also obtained a photo of Rodden exiting the courtroom Tuesday wearing his staff badge.
