Border Patrol union makes its first-ever presidential endorsement, backing Trump

The National Border Patrol Council, representing approximately 16,000 Border Patrol agents, endorsed Donald Trump for president in its first-ever endorsement of a presidential primary candidate. NBPC President Brandon Judd announced the endorsement, citing Trump pledge to build a border wall and expand enforcement. The union broke a decades-long policy of political neutrality, signaling a major politicization of the federal border enforcement workforce.
