Alexander completed an online course with ICE a few weeks after the baptism party, qualifying him for time-and-a-half pay whenever he helped the agency pick up immigrants.

says he didn’t come back to Ingram to help deport his neighbors. In his telling, he just ended up making it part of his job.

Images of the family he broke up shortly after Christmas would intrude on Alexander’s thoughts for months, he told us. But it didn’t keep him from doing his job.

Martinez told us about a moment when she watched him detain one of her cousins. He allowed the man’s wife and children to hug him goodbye and waited until his 7-year-old daughter wasn’t looking to handcuff him. To Martinez, it seemed as if Alexander was trying to prove to her that he wasn’t a bad person. “But I’m not going to fall for it,” she says.

A very well written portrait of how horrifyingly "well intentioned" evil can be.

This guy got an $18k raise for 162 stops over a two month period. That means he's getting paid about $111 per attempted kidnapping.

And then has the audacity to claim "he doesn't like to break up families".

My brother in Christ, there's about a million easier ways to make $111 than destroying someone's life. You're not doing it for the money.

You're doing it because you want to.

Fuck this justifying philandering asshole and all the racists like him.

So he made like 18k in fed pay, to "do his job" and gut the town out from the inside, terrorize dozens of families and slow down its post hurricane rebuild. Wow Hill County, money well spent /s

Sounds like a setup for a Netflix murder mystery miniseries

Reminds me of how white folks would help send their asian neighbors to the camps in WW2 and profited off all the stuff and properties they looted.

truly hate people like this. Just following orders and getting paid.

Of course he has a road pirate car.

"In god we trust" lmao

He got 18k for 162 "enforcement activities". You don't take $111 to destroy a family for the money, there are easier ways to make $111. He was destroying families for the love of the game, the $111 was just a bonus.

I read the article and, when you read the whole article, you can't just blame this guy for doing his job.
...
Nope. You also have to blame the city councillors, etc, for pushing it all through.
Yes, this Jason Alexander dude should be ashamed of himself but it wasn't just him.
All of them need to be held accountable. All of them.

Gee... a cop acting like all cops have acted since the day their vile institution was invented, you say?

Hold the presses!
