Whistleblower Alleges Major Deficits in ICE Recruits' Training After Cutbacks
A former ICE trainer-turned-whistleblower says the agency gutted basic recruit training, cutting hours from about 584 to 336 and removing several required courses and exams. Senate Democrats released internal ICE records showing reductions amid a large hiring surge, prompting warnings that deficient training could lead to constitutional violations and unsafe policing; DHS officials say core material is preserved and training is being streamlined with funding support.
