Brother of slain Indian-origin cop supports Prez Trump's plan to bolster border security

Reggie Singh, the brother of Indian-origin police officer Ronil "Ron" Singh killed in California and described a "national hero" by Donald Trump, has said his family fully supported the President's efforts to bolster border security so that others do not experience what they have been going through since the tragedy.

Corporal Ronil Singh, 33, of the Newman Police Department was shot and killed, allegedly by an illegal immigrant, during a traffic stop on December 26.

During a high-profile visit to the southern border state of Texas on Thursday to push for his controversial US-Mexico border wall plan, Trump attended a border patrol roundtable at McAllen, where Reggie Singh was seated next to the president.

"I watched a family right around Christmas time... suffer and I'd like to ask Reggie, maybe you could say a few words about your incredible brother, the job he was doing. He was so beloved by the people of the department and beyond the department," the US president said.

To this, Reggie Singh told Trump, "The way he (Ronil Singh) was killed, what my family is going through right now, I do not want any other family, law enforcement person to go through that."
The president replied, "We are with you. You know that, right."
