National Border Patrol Council and Donald Trump

Local Trump: Patrol agents had planned to accompany Trump to the border and hold a meeting with him but cancelled after consultations with their national union, the National Border Patrol Council, said Hector Garza, president of Local 2455, according to Brandon Sun. Trump stepped off his plane in Laredo and said the union members backed out because they were "petrified and they're afraid of saying what happening" at the border. LAREDO, Texas - A local border patrol union pulled out of events involving Donald Trump on Thursday as the Republican presidential contender charged ahead with his visit at the Mexican border to highlight his hardline stance on illegal immigration. Dozens of people were on hand, a mix of protesters and supporters. The businessman and reality TV host planned multiple appearances in Laredo, including an afternoon news conference. Some chanted "fuera," telling him to get out; a supporter waved a sign, "no era insulto," meaning his remarks about immigrants that touched off a feud with Republican rivals were not an insult.
