The Justice Department Sent Immigration Judges A White Nationalist Blog Post

Source: BuzzFeed

An email sent from the Justice Department to all immigration court employees this week included a link to an article posted on a white nationalist website that “directly attacks sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnically tinged slurs,” according to a letter sent by an immigration judges union and obtained by BuzzFeed News.

According to the National Association of Immigration Judges, the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) sent court employees a link to a blog post from VDare, a white nationalist website, in its morning news briefing earlier this week that included anti-Semitic attacks on judges.

The briefings are sent to court employees every weekday and include links to various immigration news items. BuzzFeed News confirmed the link to a blog post was sent to immigration court employees Monday. The post detailed a recent move by the Justice Department to decertify the immigration judges union.

A letter Thursday from union chief Ashley Tabaddor to James McHenry, the director of the Justice Department’s EOIR, said the link to the VDare post angered many judges.

One of the reasons this is particularly appalling is that VDARE is not at all subtle. This is like the EEOC sending employees links to Stormfront. Somebody at DoJ is a genuine racist shitbird.

Or possibly someone at the third-party who prepares the email. Still a shitbird though.

well let that now be relived. This (fraudulent) White House is truly at war with the American people and can only at this point be considered an enemy entity, an interloper, and an agent is civil disorder.
Treat them accordingly
