Horror over anti-ICE Halloween display showing effigies of agents
Share and Follow

A Texas homeowner is under attack after debuting an anti-ICE Halloween display showing immigration agents lookalikes hanging by a noose. 

Mark Rodriguez is getting into the Halloween spirit a bit early this year, having already set up his holiday display outside his Houston residence. However, not everyone has appreciated the setup. 

The display features two figures clad in red hats, black shirts, face masks, and khakis with zip ties in the front pockets. Both figures are suspended from a noose. 

Nearby, another mannequin dressed in a colorful poncho can be seen, along with what seems to be another figure wrapped in fabric at its feet. The display also includes two Mexican flags and several coffins scattered around. 

Although Rodriguez did not confirm if the masked figures were supposed to resemble ICE officers, he did say the display was political. 

‘With everything going on in our community, with all the problems our community is having, it just seems politically right,’ he told Fox 26 Houston

‘It ain’t right what’s happening. It ain’t right that our country is going the wrong way instead of the right way. I don’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat, it’s just the point about morally doing things right or morally doing things wrong.’ 

He insisted that ‘by no means am I threatening any agents.’ 

The display consists of two figures wearing plain red hats, black shirts and face masks, and khakis with zip ties stuffed in the front pockets. Both are hanging from a noose. Another mannequin wearing a colorful poncho

When asked who his mannequins represent, he replied, smiling: “People who wear masks and red hats.’ 

His display comes after a shooter in Dallas shot at an ICE facility earlier this week. 

Joshua Jahn, 29, used bullets imprinted with anti-ICE messages on them during the shooting. Two migrants were killed before she turned the gun on himself.  

His display went viral on social media with mixed reviews.

‘This is disgusting,’ one wrote on Twitter, while another tagged ICE and the FBI. 

Several called for Rodriguez’s deportation, with one saying: ‘The family can go back to Mexico.’

‘This is a clear hate crime,’ another wrote. 

‘I love it at first glance. Some might say it’s controversial,’ a social media user said.  

Civil Rights Lawyer, Randall Kallinen, told Fox 26 Houston that Rodriguez has a right to display the grim decoration

‘Freedom of speech, freedom of everything. We’re in a country that’s all about that. Personally, it doesn’t affect me,’ another wrote.  

Rodriguez, however, said he hasn’t seen ‘that many negative’ reactions to it yet. 

‘I was surprised that that many people liked it. The comments that I was reading, there weren’t that many negative,’ he told Fox 26 Houston. 

Civil Rights Lawyer, Randall Kallinen, told Fox 26 Houston that Rodriguez has a right to display the grim decoration. 

‘The public is free to comment upon Mr. Rodriguez’s decorations just as well as he is allowed to have them up,’ he told the outlet. ‘It’s all freedom of speech.’
