The border patrol union, led by a big Trump backer, was recently given a contract with terms that stunned immigration officials & allows far more union leaders to be paid without performing patrol duties & engage in politics. w/@nickmiroff & @arelisrhdz: washingtonpost.com/national/with-…
@NickMiroff @arelisrhdz The contract shows the outsize influence of Brandon Judd, the union's leader, who has "direct access" to Trump and has sparred with many appointees. With Judd in Oval Office, Trump encouraged CBP chief Mark Morgan to work out a deal with the union. washingtonpost.com/national/with-…
@NickMiroff @arelisrhdz The contract with the border patrol union was signed days before an order went into effect that seeks to limit what unions could receive. Other unions have received stingier contracts. One aide called it a quid pro quo for being so supportive of Trump. washingtonpost.com/national/with-…
@NickMiroff @arelisrhdz New contract forces government to finance 153,920 official hours, or equivalent of 74 full-time positions, to engage in union duties, which can include politics. Far more than other unions. Trump often touts power of union and speaks w/leader Brandon Judd. washingtonpost.com/national/with-…
