ICE Implements Additional Training for New Officers Following Controversy

ICE will extend core training for new officers from 42 days to approximately 71 days starting in July, following internal recommendations.
Officers trained under the previous accelerated program will now be required to complete an Advanced Field Officer Training Program, though its duration is unspecified.
The changes aim to improve officer safety and operational efficiency in response to rising violence against ICE agents.
