38. "The department's recruitment content has been widely shared by the Proud Boys and other extremists."

Homan is right, but not about the sides:

The Trump administration is recruiting immigration officers using ads that echo neo-Nazi and far right imagery, sparking claims it is dog whistling to extremists. Ten months into President Donald Trump’s mass deportation strategy, the Department of Human Services has been pushing out recruitment and promotional content that critics fear could escalate racial hate and violence towards immigrants. Wendy Via from the Global Project Against Extremism and Hate, which has been tracking the department’s content, said the posts have gone viral among far right groups such as the Proud Boys, who “celebrate the agency’s tone as validation.”
