Inside the Georgia campus where ICE is training thousands of new recruits

GLYNCO, Georgia — In the coming months, 10,000 recruits hired by Immigration and Customs Enforcement will pass through the federal agency’s training academy in coastal Georgia before fanning out across the country to carry out President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda.

At the facility, the newest officers from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations arm will undergo an eight-week training course covering topics ranging from immigration law to firearms and driving safety before they are sent to a field office to begin working alongside their peers.
