Trump policies could make local law enforcement at the border 'free to do their jobs': Former border agent
Brandon Judd, former border patrol agent and president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Fox News Digital that President-elect Donald Trump's policies could be a boon for police in border towns.
President-elect Trump's plans to curb illegal immigration will lighten the load of Border Patrol agents and local police across the southern U.S. border, National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told Fox News Digital.
Trump won 14 out of 18 counties within 20 miles of the U.S. border, challenging Democrats' traditional hold there. Among Latino voters in those counties, 55% voted for the president-elect – a 55% increase from his numbers in 2020.
Trump has pledged to target noncitizens who have been convicted of crimes and the 1.4 million immigrants who are still in the U.S. despite receiving a formal order of removal from a judge.
