This explains a lot too, like damn?!!
Following the shooting death of 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, new questions are being raised about the training procedures for ICE recruits.
An August 2025 exposé by The Atlantic's Nick Miroff reported, "New deportation officers at ICE used to receive about five months of federal-law-enforcement training. Administration officials have cut that time roughly in half, partly by eliminating Spanish-language courses."
"Academy training was shortened to 47 days, three officials told me, the number picked because Trump is the 47th president."
The Atlantic cited DHS officials as saying that the training now runs six days a week for eight weeks.
In response to PEOPLE's inquiry about the reduced number of training days, a senior DHS official replied, "False. Training to become an Enforcement and Removal Operations officer is 8 weeks long." The official did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for clarification, since eight weeks matches the timeframe that The Atlantic previously reported.

In the statement provided to PEOPLE, the DHS official explained the updated ICE training process, saying, "Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) [are] prepared to accommodate 11,000 new hires by the beginning of next year. ICE continuously evaluates and modernizes its training programs and curriculum. We have streamlined training to cut redundancy and incorporate technology advancements."
