ICE is rapidly expanding its workforce, training up to 10,000 new officers at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Georgia. The accelerated training program, now lasting eight weeks, includes firearms training and tactical exercises. While the Spanish language portion of training has been shortened to expedite the process, officials emphasize maintaining quality. ICE received over 121,000 applications and prioritizes thorough background checks. The increased threat level has necessitated officers wearing masks due to doxxing and online threats.
