Mullin Says ICE Training Going Back to ‘Regular Standards’

Markwayne Mullin announced that the Department of Homeland Security plans to restore the training standards for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to pre-Trump administration levels starting this summer. This move comes after concerns about the quality and rigor of training when the Trump administration expanded ICE's workforce significantly. Restoring these standards is expected to ensure that officers are better prepared and more accountable, potentially addressing criticisms about enforcement practices and the treatment of individuals during detentions. This decision is significant as it reflects a shift in policy priorities and could impact the overall operations and public perception of ICE.
