Democrat Welcomes Endorsement from Union that Defends Illegal Migrant Truck Drivers
by Warner Todd Huston 2 Jun 2026
A Wisconsin Democrat is celebrating her endorsement by a union that is fighting against the Trump administration’s crackdown on dangerous illegal alien commercial truck drivers.
Democrat Rebecca Cooke, who is running for Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, touted her endorsement from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), saying she is “honored to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the hard-working men and women of AFSCME.”
With the endorsement, Cooke — who hopes to unseat Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden — is signaling that she is signing onto the AFSCME’s campaign to loosen rules to require proof of citizenship for industrial jobs, including commercial truck driving, Fox News reported.
Cooke’s endorsement comes as the federal government continues its nation-wide campaign to eliminate foreign truck drivers and to arrest and deport those here illegally.
