Republican p**********l nominee Donald Trump frequently touts his support among law enforcement and military figures.
On Monday, he told News4Jax that the United States military "conceptually" endorsed him and that "virtually every police department" in the country backed his bid for the presidency. During last week's third debate, Trump said his hardline stance on immigration and pledge to build a border wall had earned him an endorsement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
But none of that is true.
Federal agencies are barred by law from endorsing candidates in political e******ns. Under the Hatch Act, only the president, vice president and high-ranking administration officials are allowed to dip their toe in partisan waters.
The Department of Defense, meanwhile, has its own set of guidelines that tightly restricts any active duty military or civilian personnel from publicly choosing political sides.

One of their unions, representing 1/4 of their officers.
Trump's claim at the debate was that ICE endorsed him, blatantly false.

I just looked it up. Their union (20,000 members) DID endorse Trump. Their 1st endorsement in their history.

There is a "Huge" difference between an agency endorsement and a union endorsement!
But he doesn't seen to make that critical connection!
And he never will!

Poor Checky! How many times do I have to tell you that's it's not that I support her,it's just that T-man is a horrific pantload. She sucks big time,but in spite of all she is a better choice. The v**ers will tell the story. Meanwhile,keep playing the fool with your capital letter and showing everyone how deficient you are.

Gosh jolly, did I strike a sore spot?
25% of the union support does not a majority make!

No Kenny, it is one local of 5,000 agents in Arizona.
From the Christian Science Monitor:
Since government agencies cannot issue endorsements, Mr. Trump was likely referring to the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, a union representing some 5,000 immigration officers, which backed Trump in a campaign announcement Monday morning.
Sorry Kenny.
