Fans of Taylor Swift have been shocked after it emerged that a contractor for the controversial Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) was in attendance at her wedding.

…

It appears that Steven J. Demetriou, the Executive Chair of a company called Amentum Services was also among the crowd gathered to see the happy couple say ‘I do.’

Amentum Services is currently the sole contractor for ICE’s Camp East Montana, a detention centre in El Paso.

The artist has faced swift backlash for her choice of guests, including online commenters who have shared their dismay on social media.

          What a fucking letdown that is, I didn’t know. I knew he was Jewish of course but I didn’t think he’s the kind of person to support this much horror. Guess he goes the way of Andy Samberg.

            I’m not particularly surprised. A lot of people conflate family origins with personal identity.

            “Kiss me, I’m Irish!”

            “You’re either with us or against us!”

            “Axis of evil.”

            Race biases. Class biases. Gender biases. Etc etc etc, and most of it is unconsciousness and subjective.

            Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

            Please tell me this isn’t true or I’ll start to worry about my love, Joanna.
