One of the largest national police unions in the country declared its support for President Donald Trump’s plan to deploy federal agents in the wake of violent unrest and a spike in crime across major metropolitan areas.

Sam Cabral, the president of the International Union of Police Associations (IUPA), wrote that the AFL-CIO-affiliate union “absolutely” supports Trump’s plan to “protect the people of this country that includes the deployment of Federal Law Enforcement Officers to those cities and states, some of whom ... have abdicated their primary responsibility to protect their citizens.”
