I was told by several friends Trump “Lied!” When he said he received the endorsement of ICE.
ICE released a statement saying they are a government agency and do not endorse any candidate.
I responded “Whoever told you this is 100% a liar and pushing a point of view by ommision.”
In fact, The Border Patrol association, which has some 16,500 members did indeed endorse Trump.
Did the agency? Nope and they are barred by law from doing so anyway.
The members of an association, however, are free to vote for and even endorse anyone they wish.
To wit: “In addition, I was just endorsed by ICE. They’ve never endorsed anybody before on immigration. I was just endorsed by ICE. I was just recently endorsed — 16,500 Border Patrol agents.”
Here is their endorsement from March 2016:http://www.bpunion.org/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/1824-national-border-patrol-council-endorses-donald-trump-for-president
Now, here is the endorsement from The National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council represents 5,000 federal immigration officers and law enforcement staff

So, did DJT receive the endorsement of our Border Patrol and ICE agents or not?
The question answers itself....
The IRS, through their partisan witchhunt of tea party patriot groups and fast-tracking of pro-Bama groups, endorsed Barrack's re-election in 2012.
