The Arizona Freedom Caucus (AFC), a group of conservatives in the Arizona Legislature, held a press conference at the state capitol on Monday to express support for the work Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is doing to stop illegal immigration and associated crime. State Senator Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek), founder of the AFC, ran the press conference, which featured three parents who lost their children due to the porous border, known as Angel parents.
