Trump bashes GOP for spending millions on ads targeting him
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump has gotten support from a local U.S. Border Patrol union ahead of rallies and other campaign events Saturday in the border state of Arizona, which holds key primaries Tuesday.
Local 2544 said Trump asked for the endorsement Friday and that officials responded by saying he is the only 2016 White House candidate to “publicly expressed his support” of the Border Patrol’s mission and it agents and that he has been “an outspoken candidate on the need for a secure border.”
However, Art Del Cueto, president of the Tucson-based union, made clear that he would adhere to the larger National Border Patrol Council’s practice of not endorsing presidential candidates.
The endorsement comes as Trump holds a town hall-style meeting near Scottsdale, Arizona, on Saturday morning, followed by a big rally in the Phoenix Convention Center.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio — the self-styled “America’s Toughest Sheriff” who has already endorsed Trump — is scheduled to participate in the rallies.
Protesters are already trying to stop the Trump events, including blocking a major road to one event Saturday morning.
