Ahead of Monday night’s debate, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump and “urged all Americans, especially the millions of lawful immigrants living within our country, to support Donald J. Trump, and to protect American jobs, wages and lives.”

The National ICE Council represents the nation’s approximately roughly 5,000 frontline ICE officers, agents, and personnel who are responsible for enforcing America’s immigration laws in all 50 states and U.S. territories. This endorsement marks the ICE Council’s first-ever endorsement of any candidate for any elected office.

In a statement announcing the endorsement, ICE Council President Chris Crane warned against Hillary Clinton’s “radical plan” of “total amnesty plus open borders” that “would result in the loss of innocent American lives, mass victimization and death for many attempting to immigrate to the United States, the total gutting of interior enforcement, the handcuffing of ICE officers, and uncontrollable flood of illegal immigrants across U.S. borders.”

“Let us be clear,” Crane wrote, “the non-enforcement agenda of this Administration, favored by Secretary Clinton, results in the daily loss of life and victimization of many, to include not only American citizens, but also those attempting to immigrate to our country. These victims will never have their photos shown on TV, but their families’ suffering is no less real.”
