Department Of Homeland Security Parties Like It’s 1899

We know the good people of La Migra would never let racism influence their work. But no one said they couldn’t let it affect their play! Until now, that is. The Department of Homeland Security is under fire for awarding a White employee at the office Halloween party with the title of “Most Original Costume” after he dresed in blackface, dreadlocks and a striped, prison uniform:

Julie Myers, assistant secretary overseeing Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division, was part of a three-judge panel that lauded the costume, worn by a white employee, last Wednesday. She also posed for a photo with him.

Unforch, the pics have already been taken off Flickr. Lame. Still we’re glad those ICE agents get that stuff out of their system during off hours. Now back to their usual upholding of the law with blind justice.
