The Department of Homeland Security is promoting deportation jobs using a line from a far-right white nationalist song. On Jan. 9, they posted an image on their official X account with the phrase “We’ll have our home again” over JOIN.ICE.GOV. Sounds familiar?
A user immediately pointed out that the DHS is “literally using a quote from a KKK & Neo-Nazi theme song.” The phrase “We’ll have our home again” is closely similar to “By God we’ll have our home again.” The latter is not some timeless slogan. It’s recognizable to many far-right and post-fascist communities as part of a modern adaptation of an old sea shanty.
