National ICE Council Announces First-Ever Presidential Endorsement In Its History

Unprecedented…
Early Monday morning, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council made a huge announcement that rocked the political world.
“We hereby endorse Donald J. Trump, and urge all Americans, especially the millions of lawful immigrants living within our country, to support Donald J. Trump, and to protect American jobs, wages and lives,” the organization’s president, Chris Crane, wrote in a statement published at DonaldJTrump.com.
What made the endorsement so stunning was that the National ICE Council had never before in its history made an endorsement for a candidate running for an elected office.
Plus, the council represented 7,600 federal immigration officers and law enforcement support staff members.
Yet this time around, the council chose to have a vote, and according to the results of that vote, GOP candidate Donald Trump received the vast majority of the council members’ support.
“This first-ever endorsement was conducted by a vote of our membership, with Hillary Clinton receiving only 5 percent of that vote,” Crane’s statement clarified.
In explaining why council members disliked Democrat candidate Clinton so much, Crane pointed to her support of “the most radical immigration proposal in U.S. history.”
He also claimed that her plan had been crafted with the assistance of “special interests and open-borders radicals.”
“Her radical plan would result in the loss of thousands of innocent American lives, mass victimization and death for many attempting to immigrate to the United States, the total gutting of interior enforcement, the handcuffing of ICE officers, and an uncontrollable flood of illegal immigrants across U.S. borders,” his statement went on.
The Democrat candidate would also expand executive amnesty, expand catch-and-release and prioritize the non-enforcement of America’s federal immigration laws, Crane wrote.
