For example, James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, a 44-year-old who works as an assistant chief counsel for ICE in the Dallas area. Rodden represents the agency in immigration court hearings where judges decide whether an individual is removed from the country.</p><p>Here’s some choice words of ICE attorney Rodden; Quote: It is our holy duty to guard against the foreign hordes. Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders,” the account posted in March 2024. “Yet. Give it a few more weeks at this level of invasion, and that will be the moderate position.”</p><p>There’s more, and it’s worse.

The state is arguably the nation’s deadliest for workers in general and construction laborers in particular, with heat playing a significant and systemically underrecognized role in work-related illnesses, injuries, and deaths. Despite Texas’ sweltering temperatures, state law doesn’t mandate that employees receive rest breaks."</p><p>Aye, but Austin city ordinances *do* mandate rest breaks (<a href="https://www.austintexas.gov/department/rest-break-ordinance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">austintexas.gov/department/res</span><span class="invisible">t-break-ordinance</span></a>)... I wonder if the folks at the Texas Observer did their homework and noted that fact (and that the Gigafactory is outside city limits):</p><p>"Two Texas cities, Austin and Dallas, have passed their own rest break policies for construction workers, but the GOP-run state Legislature has repeatedly tried to kill these local laws and may succeed this year. (The Tesla site in Travis County is outside Austin city limits, so the municipal rest break policy doesn’t apply there.)"</p><p>Yep. They did! Even picked up on the Lege trying multiple times to kill these ordinances. I wonder if they mention Workers Defense Project, as they were, IIRC, on the forefront of getting those Austin ordinances passed, and are constantly pushing back on this bullshit:</p><p>"The deal also included some labor-friendly terms such as a $15 hourly wage floor, but labor advocates including Workers Defense Project criticized it for lacking independent compliance monitoring—which Workers Defense said amounted to letting Tesla “police themselves.”"</p><p>"Editor’s Note: The writer’s spouse, who was not involved in the production of this story, is employed by the Workers Defense Project."</p><p>Yep. Once again on top of things. This is the sort of attention to detail that is normally missing from most stories coming out of news outlets these days.</p><p>Awesome work, y'all.
