ICE officials under review for social media posts suggesting Rep. Ilhan Omar took 'terrorism classes

The hate is disgustingly palpable.

A pair of high-ranking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are under review after they shared and liked social media posts promoting unfounded conspiracy theories regarding Rep. Ilhan Omar and immigration.

One recent post shared on LinkedIn by senior ICE agent Leslie Derewonko and “liked” by Jerry Templet, who is the second-in-command of Homeland Security investigations in San Francisco, described the Minnesota Democrat as a “Trojan horse” who came to the United States because of a “refugee outbreak” under former President Obama.

“And this what America represents?” Derewonko added in his caption.

The post, verified by Buzzfeed News, also suggested Omar, who is a Muslim, once admitted to taking “terrorism classes.”

“Hell just make her the Director of National Security, obviously she not only took TERRORIST classes, she sat in class WITH THEM,” Derewonko wrote in a post, screen-grabbed by ABC News. “Here’s a question to all you Intelligence Spooks types… WHO THE HELL VETTED HER TO COME INTO THIS COUNTRY, and better yet, WHO THE HELL VETTED HER AS A CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE?”


Derewonko has also used LinkedIn to comment on posts suggesting the so-called migrant caravans, which sparked controversy in 2018, were part of an Election Day “false flag” and that it was part of the UN’s “invading force.”

which is a decidedly conservative school. It actually sounds like a great course for a future representative to take. It focused on the history, tactics, and motivations of terrorist groups.
