Ex-ICE Instructor Alleges Training Cuts and Congressional Deception

A former ICE trainer, Ryan Schwank, testified before Congress that ICE slashed 240 hours from its 580-hour academy—including courses on use of force, detentions, and firearms—and accused ICE leadership of lying to Congress about the cuts; DHS disputes the claim, saying training hours were not reduced as part of a scheduling shift amid scrutiny of the Trump-era immigration crackdown.
