I want to move quickly to ICE training under Kristi Noem, new ICE agent received 42 days of training rather than the standard 72 days to meet President Trump's demand. We saw the effects of this training shortage with ICE agents often ignoring the rule of law, engaging in unprofessional behavior and using unjustified force, including shooting and killing an American. When will DHS revert back to the 72 day training requirement for new ICE agents? When will ICE agents who received less training have to retake or recertify courses they were exempt from because of the accelerated training schedule? (01:51–02:07)

CLAIM

Asserts that the reduced training led to ICE agents ignoring laws, behaving unprofessionally, and using unjustified force.
