Yes, sir. Okay. Is it more than three months? Yes, sir. How much more? Is it six months? Is it a year? It depends on the position. Okay. Because Yesterday Mr. Lyons testified that ICE agents in the field with lethal force. 47 days. If you already have some law enforcement experience, whatever that means three months if you start from scratch. Okay, so you're way more than that, right? Yes, sir. Okay, thank you very much. And, Ms. McNeil, I think the only agents you have with lethal force are federal air marshals, is that right? (03:24–03:37)

CLAIM

Asserts that ICE agents receive 47 days of training if they have prior law enforcement experience, or three months if starting from scratch.
