A Closer Look at Reports of Border Patrol Agents and ICE Officials
Many Americans are aware of the reason behind the government shutdown. After President Trump and Democratic leaders failed to reach an agreement on legislation to keep government open, it shut down on the evening of December 21, 2018. Since then, a resolution or comprise between both sides still remains nowhere in sight.
However, there seems to be some ambiguity about various perceptions of the shutdown. Many federal workers have ongoingly expressed displeasure about going without pay. Although, shutting down the government for the sake of the wall has supposedly garnered favor amongst others; this is according to Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council. Judd recently stated that border patrol agents supported the shutdown for the border wall.
