A controversial Halloween decoration in the front of Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch's private home as taken by Whitney Newman.supplied image posted with permission by Whitney Newman
A Halloween display outside the home of Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch is drawing criticism on social media for depicting skeletons dressed as immigration officers chasing others wearing stereotypical Hispanic attire.
The display, set up in front of the sheriffās residence, features two skeletons wearing sombreros and ponchos attempting to climb a fence, while three skeletons in T-shirts labeled āICEā appear to pursue them. ICE stands for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A photo of the scene began circulating Tuesday after neighbor Whitney Newman of Mobile County posted it to Facebook, calling it offensive and inappropriate ā particularly given Burchās role as an elected law enforcement official.
āItās hard to put into words how disappointing it is to see our elected sheriff use his own front yard to mock and dehumanize a group of people,ā Newman wrote. āI donāt think itās cute or funny. And coming from a law enforcement official makes it exponentially worse.
āThis crosses a line from tasteless joke into a public statement about who deserves dignity,ā she said.
..
The Mobile County Sheriffās Office declined to comment and referred all media inquiries to a statement from the sheriffās wife, Michelle Burch.
In a written statement, Michelle Burch said she was solely responsible for the decorations, describing them as ātongue-in-cheekā and part of a series of themed displays she creates annually for Halloween.
āMy husband had nothing to do with these, other than mowing the grass around them,ā she wrote. āI made this one, playing both on my Cuban background and new, needed changes in federal immigration enforcement.ā
Burch said she decorates for Halloween and other holidays every year and frequently rotates themes. āMy parents were legal immigrants, and I have plenty of immigrants throughout my family. Iāll make a new one shortly ā we have no shortage of topics to cover,ā she added.
..
The Facebook post sparked strong reactions, with many commenters calling the display ādisgustingā and accusing the sheriff of bigotry.
The controversy comes just a week after video surfaced of a Mobile County sheriffās deputy striking a man during an immigration enforcement operation. Sheriff Burch defended the deputyās actions, saying the man was resisting arrest.

Portland ā A 23-year-old Starbucks barista at Portland International Airport was arrested Tuesday morning after what police described as a āgratuity blow-upā that disrupted terminal traffic.
Witnesses say the barista had just prepared a $47 order of lattes, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries for a family rushing to catch a flight. When they declined to tip on the payment screen, she allegedly shouted, āYouāll drop hundreds on plane tickets but nothing for the person keeping you awake?ā
When the customers tried to grab their order and leave, police say she hurled a hot latte across the counter, splashing onto one travelerās carry-on bag. She then vaulted over the counter and blocked the exit, demanding they add a tip before boarding.
Airport police arrived within minutes and arrested her on charges of assault and disorderly conduct.
The meltdown caused such a backup in the concourse that TSA briefly closed one checkpoint, delaying multiple flights by nearly 20 minutes.
She was probably grumpy because it took her forever to get through the metal detector.
