The Justice Department Sent Immigration Judges A White Nationalist Blog Post With Anti-Semitic Attac

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 on Monday. The post detailed a recent move by the Justice Department to decertify the immigration judge’s union.

In 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.

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.

“The post features links and content that directly attacks sitting immigration judges with racial and ethnically tinged slurs and the label ‘Kritarch.’ The reference to Kritarch in a negative tone is deeply offensive and Anti-Semitic,” wrote Tabaddor. The VDare post includes pictures of judges with the term “kritarch” preceding their names.

Tabaddor said the term kritarchy is a reference to ancient Israel during a time of rule by a system of judges.'>>>

I'd say it's the new par for the course (as well as horrifying).

One of their articles is about how "Zionists" have stolen the holy mantle of "national conservatism" and are attempting to seize control of the movement for their own, nefarious ends. Extremely frightening stuff at that site.
