ICE "Wartime" Recruiting Effort Targets Gun & Military Lovers Using White Nationalist Messaging

1. We'll Have Our Home Again

A social media post from the Department of Homeland Security uses the phrase “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” which is also the title of a song written by white nationalists and embraced by groups like the Proud Boys.
“There are two types of people to whom these messages will quickly look familiar,” Oren Segal, a vice president for counterextremism at the Anti-Defamation League, said of the panoply of postings, “white supremacists, and those who study white supremacists.”

A Homeland Security spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin, said that if the ICE recruiting post were actually about the song, it “would be a problem” and “morally repugnant.” But, she said, the post had no relation to the white-supremacist anthem.
“There are plenty of references to those words in books and poems,” she said, adding that she was “in charge of everything” posted on the department’s social media accounts.

But when the post was opened on Instagram’s mobile app, audio from the chorus of the song played in the background. After a reporter pointed this out, Ms. McLaughlin said The Times was participating in a left-wing conspiracy theory.
