Story summary
  • Concerns about ICE training intensified after two shootings in Minneapolis, per Donell Harvin, a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official, who says recruits receive only 47 days.
  • Harvin contends the 47-day period is shorter than that for animal control officers in many states, raising safety concerns.
  • The DHS counters that ICE candidates undergo extensive training, including de-escalation and use-of-force standards.
  • Still, skepticism remains amid rising scrutiny of ICE operations.
