The Department of Homeland Security has denied a claim in a news report that alleged training for new Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officers was shortened to 47 days because the number is symbolic of President Donald Trump‘s being the 47th president.

The Washington Examiner recently visited the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia, where acting ICE Director Todd Lyons shared that training had recently been shortened to six days a week for eight weeks.
