realitytea.comThe Trump administration is ending the accelerated training program it used to rapidly onboard thousands of new ICE agents hired during a recent surge, according to an exclusive report. The fast-track initiative had been employed following expanded hiring to increase the agency’s operational capacity.
Politico first reported the decision, which was also shared by the account @disclosetv. The reporting indicates the administration is shifting away from the shortened training model that enabled quicker deployment of personnel into ICE roles.
No further details on the reasons for ending the program, what will replace it, or the specific timeline were disclosed in the reporting from either outlet. The original accelerated program had been central to efforts to expand ICE operations after the hiring increase.
