The CBP official's retirement party is scheduled about 10 weeks before Attorney General William Barr's planned family holiday party at Trump International Hotel.
Having Luck's retirement party at a Trump property is not illegal. Federal ethics rules prohibit government employees from giving gifts to superiors, but let them spend up to $10 on birthdays and some holidays.
Luck was a keynote speaker at the Border Patrol Foundation's annual dinner, which was moved from a Marriott hotel to Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The foundation recognizes agents who have died while serving. Past presidents have divested from their business interests or put their assets in a blind trust to ensure there is not even the appearance of any conflict of interest.
"Without the brave heroes of ICE, we would have no enforcement, no laws, no borders and therefore — we wouldn't even have a country," Trump said in a statement at the time.
