"Slate writer Molly Olmstead noted that that campaign, entitled "Stand With Our Brave ICE Hero," was started by an avowed white supremacist who goes by Tom Hennessey. He has asked if Good was a "negrophile," used the #DeportThemAll and "TheyAllMustGo" in his crowdfunding campaign, and initially said that Good's slaying was "a direct result of anti-American traitors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (who is Jewish) fanning the flames of resistance" before he removed mention of Frey's Judaism."
""America First patriots!" the campaign states. "In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, our fearless ICE agents were out doing the job the invaders and their enablers hate most: rounding up and deporting illegal aliens who have no right to be flooding our nation, draining resources, and threatening our sovereignty.""
"This xenophobic and anti-immigrant rhetoric evokes the Great Replacement Theory, a debunked white nationalist conspiracy theory that a cabal of rich Jewish people wants to "replace" white Americans and Westerners with non-white immigrants and people of color (especially Black people and Muslims) to fundamentally change the nation's racial makeup and political culture."
A GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign for ICE agent Jonathan Ross has raised over $250,000. The campaign was started by Tom Hennessey, an avowed white supremacist, who used slurs and the hashtags #DeportThemAll and "TheyAllMustGo." The organizer initially blamed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and referenced his Judaism before removing that mention. The campaign copy invokes "America First" rhetoric and depicts ICE agents as defending the nation by deporting so-called "illegal aliens." The messaging echoes the Great Replacement Theory and includes explicit antisemitic and white nationalist themes on social media.
