Law enforcement are vocally backing Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council President Chris Crane following Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% 's apparent attempt to discredit Crane, an ICE officer of 13 years and U.S. veteran.
Crane has been described by Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) 80% , a renowned leader in the conservative nation-state movement, as "an American hero" for blowing the whistle on immigration corruption.
Following an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in which Crane detailed how law enforcement was treated "like absolute trash" by Sen. Rubio during his effort to ram the Gang of Eight amnesty bill through the Senate, Rubio took to national television to denounce Crane and his service to his country.
"He's not an ICE official. He's the head of a union," Rubio declared on Fox News when asked about the criticism leveled by Crane. "That individual is not an ICE official; he's the head of a union," Rubio responded.
Prominent sheriffs throughout the country, however, have rushed to Crane's aide-praising him for his "courage to tell the truth amidst attacks."
"ICE Officer Chris Crane is as much a real federal law enforcement officer as Marco Rubio is a real U.S. Senator," said conservative Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal County, Arizona.
Sheriff Babeu was recognized by the National Sheriff's Associate as "Sheriff of the Year" in 2011, and he has been described as one of nation's "toughest immigration sheriffs."
"Officer Crane has helped expose the failures of ICE and President Obama to enforce immigration laws that have compromised the safety of our nation," Sheriff Babeu continued. "I'm proud of his service to our nation and courage to tell the truth amidst attacks."

I wasn’t for Rubio but if I had been this would have been the straw the broke the camel’s back.
Slimy little b*****.
.
My straw was when he lied to us Floridians on amnesty. I would never vote for him again - for anything. I am a Cruzer and if it comes down to Trump and Rubio for the nom, Trump has my vote.
He lost me when he decided to woo Mexican illegals, in Spanish.
If that's his thing, he should run for office in Mexico.
Funny how he called Cruz a liar about the Univision thing. And he thinks that just because he came in 2nd in SC that he is going to win the entire election. He’s probably lying to himself about that too. Its not like he annihilated Cruz In SC- 2nd place was a virtual tie.
PS-It was Rubio’s campaign that initially started the whole Carson drop out rumor. But the media stayed silent on that because he is their establishment boy.
Someone send Trump a note to put ICE Officer Chris Crane on stage...Along with some employees from Mexico’s latest company, Carrier Corp.
He’s been a slimy, sleazy, open borders, little shit his whole life.
Sounds like a fantastic idea! Rubio, go to Mexico and MAKE MEXICO GREAT so the illegals will go home.
I hope that now, both Cruz and Trump pound Rubio into the ground. Rubio will never get my vote.
Mark my words, this will be Marco’s own personal SwiftBoat, and will dog him throughout his campaign.
Thats what I am hoping for but it seems the folks of SC didnt see it that way or they just were paying attention to his record.
Weren’t, no were (oops!)
That little amnesty pipsqueak needs to go back to Miami to his law firm. I’m sick of him. I hope Trump dissects him like a frog.
Agreed and I hope he dissects him slowly. I actually hope both Trump and Cruz pound him down and knock his little weasel butt out the race. He is acting like his one 2nd place win in SC is going to win him the election. If he can call it a 2nd place win-he tied with Cruz. LOL!
Rubio, just another mainstream Republican who will go along and get along with Democrats and others intent on destroying this country.
He lost me when he decided to pal around with McCain.....no way, Jose!

Hmmmm, what other candidate do we know will do that?
“He’s not an ICE official. He’s the head of a union,” Rubio declared on Fox News when asked about the criticism leveled by Crane. “That individual is not an ICE official; he’s the head of a union,” Rubio responded.
Did he really say it twice?
PERFECT idea!
This hasn’t had time to get widespread yet.
