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 sheriff’s residence, features two skeletons wearing sombreros and ponchos attempting to climb a fence, while three skeletons in T-shirts labeled “ICE” 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 — particularly given Burch’s role as an elected law enforcement official.
“It’s 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,” Newman wrote. “I don’t think it’s cute or funny. And coming from a law enforcement official makes it exponentially worse.
“This crosses a line from tasteless joke into a public statement about who deserves dignity,” she said.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office declined to comment and referred all media inquiries to a statement from the sheriff’s wife, Michelle Burch.
In a written statement, Michelle Burch said she was solely responsible for the decorations, describing them as “tongue-in-cheek” and part of a series of themed displays she creates annually for Halloween.
“My husband had nothing to do with these, other than mowing the grass around them,” she wrote. “I made this one, playing both on my Cuban background and new, needed changes in federal immigration enforcement.”
Burch said she decorates for Halloween and other holidays every year and frequently rotates themes. “My parents were legal immigrants, and I have plenty of immigrants throughout my family. I’ll make a new one shortly — we have no shortage of topics to cover,” she added.

The Facebook post sparked strong reactions, with many commenters calling the display “disgusting” and accusing the sheriff of bigotry.
The controversy comes just a week after video surfaced of a Mobile County sheriff’s deputy striking a man during an immigration enforcement operation. Sheriff Burch defended the deputy’s actions, saying the man was resisting arrest.
