ICE whistleblower warns recruits receiving defective training

A former ICE training instructor testified to Congress that the agency is graduating new officers without adequate training in use-of-force protocols and constitutional law. Internal documents show training was reduced from 72 to 42 days over seven months, with multiple use-of-force courses eliminated, despite DHS denials that training requirements were cut.
