An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer became a viral Twitter celebrity this week, after being photographed during Vice President Mike Pence’s visit to an immigration detention facility in McAllen, Texas.
Many conservatives and border security advocates appear to have developed an infatuation for the woman, who was seen performing her duties in front of a holding area for detained illegal aliens.
The officer, who gained the moniker of “ICE Bae,” is actually a Customs and Border Patrol officer. CBP enforces immigration law at America’s borders, whereas ICE is tasked with internal immigration enforcement.
Many where surprised when the patriotic young lady identified herself on Twitter, responding to some of her fans and expressing thanks for the support of CBP. She identified as a customs officer, thanking her admirers for their support in the face of relentless criticism from progressive and Democrats.
But thank you for seeing how difficult my job can be… not only because I am Latina but just in general the mass amount of people crossing ILLEGALLY daily and the processing can take a toll on anyone of any gender and any race.
