A vocal admirer of Louis Farrakhan has departed from his post as community outreach director for the district attorney responsible for enforcing the law in Boston and nearby communities.
True-See Allah, who once spent eight years in prison for a gang-related shooting, received his last paycheck from Massachusetts on February 10, 2024, eight months after he was placed on leave and subjected to an investigation by Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden. The move was prompted in part by Allah’s public expressions of support for Farrakhan, whom he called an “illustrious leader, teacher and guide,” and “the embodiment of righteous conduct.” Farrakhan, an inveterate anti-white racist and antisemite, had previously described white people as being “born with lie and murder in their nature” and had declared Jews the “enemies” of God.”
Allah’s support for Farrakhan was first documented by Focus on Western Islamism’s Dexter Van Zile in a piece published in the American Spectator in May 2023. For a while it looked like he would survive the controversy, but when subsequent coverage published in June 2023 revealed that Allah himself had trafficked in antisemitic comments, Hayden put him on paid leave. Allah’s LinkedIn page indicates that he stopped working for the DA’s office in February 2024. The state database indicates that Allah received more than $97,000 for his work at the DA’s office between 2023 and 2024 despite being on suspension since June 2023.
After receiving a 2015 pardon for his role in a gang-related shooting which took place in 1989, Allah began working at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department in 2013, ascending to the role of assistant deputy superintendent by the time he left in 2020. Following his departure from the sheriff’s office, Allah joined Massachusetts’ Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. From 2020 to 2022, he held the position of director of reentry, responsible for managing programs aimed at helping former inmates adapt after their release from prison.
Allah has not yet responded to a request for comment.
“I’m not commenting,” said James Borghesani, chief of communications for Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden, when asked about Allah’s status.
