President Donald Trump on Monday spoke at a White House event in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs of Border Protection, two agencies housed within the Department of Homeland Security charged with immigration law enforcement and border security, respectively.
In a strange turn, Trump repeatedly referred to CBP as CBC. Was he referring to the Congressional Black Caucus? The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation? Who knows.
He also made sure to mention that a Border Patrol officer he invited on stage speaks perfect English.

Separately, Trump brought up a CPB officer he identified only as Adrian, who he credited with stopping a human smuggler whod locked 78 people in the back of a trailer and attempted to cross the border. Speaks perfect English, he said, referring to Adrian.
