Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council President Chris Crane is issuing a challenge to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)following Rubio's attack on the officer. In an email to Rubio's campaign -- an exclusive copy of which is being provided to Breitbart News -- Crane challenges Rubio to meet so that ICE Officer Crane can present Rubio with his badge and his credentials.
Crane represents America's ICE officers and is an ICE officer himself.
"You recently lied to the American public on FOX news regarding my current status and career as both an ICE Agent and Officer," Crane writes in his email to Rubio. "I challenge you to make yourself available, as a United States Senator and Presidential Candidate, so that I may present my badge and credentials to you as proof that your comments on FOX news are false."
Following Crane's detailed account published last week of how law enforcement was treated "like absolute trash" by Sen. Rubio during efforts to enact his donor-backed amnesty and mass immigration bill through the Senate, Rubio appeared on national television and denounced ICE Officer Crane and his service to the nation.
"He's not an ICE official. He's the head of a union," Rubio told Neil Cavuto. Rubio said he would not address Crane's accusations because they were published by Breitbart News -- suggesting that Crane was a "conspiracy" theorist. "I literally don't talk about the things they [i.e. Breitbart News] report because they're basically conspiracy theories and often times manipulated. And that individual is not an ICE official, he's the head of a union," Rubio said.
Crane said that Rubio "absolutely knowingly misle[d] the American people" about his Gang of Eight bill, and that "violent street gangs were literally able to lobby Sen. Rubio and the Gang of Eight more effectively than law enforcement."

Marco Rubio To Skip Caucus Night Party In Vegas -http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/23/marco-rubio-to-skip-caucus-night-in-vegas-will-campaign-in-midwest-instead/ …
Interesting.
Hope it’s because he knows a lost cause when he sees one.
Or, the GOPe has the whole “text a picture of your caucus results” situation “handled”. :/
Guess we’ll see!
I wonder if Cruz will use this in the next debate.
I see (I-Ce) another Trump voting bloc forming...
Rubio does project the image of a slick conman. I was surprised to hear that he told O’Reilly he wants to deport illegals. I do not believe him.
Rub-a-dub Rubio is worse than Hillary or The Bern on immigration. Those two are out in the open about their plans to destroy America with even bigger waves of illegals *and* legals. Rub-a-dub is a snake in the grass, hiding his true intentions from the voters.
“Rubio does project the image of a slick conman”.
That is why the Rube does his fast talking gig, he is nothing but a conman!
Rubio - the “Chameleon Candidate”
For some time I have felt somebody was giving him bad advice, having their own agenda. The outcome in SC might have been different if he had gone more after Rubio and less after Trump.
Rubio is Bush 2. He wants open borders.
He must have read Richard III:
I can add colors to the chameleon
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages
And set the murderous Machevil to school
