3. A couple of questions:

1. Was it ICE? Or was it Border Patrol? Two different organizations.

2. What I understand about ICE is their actions questioning without cause. And then making significant mistakes.

Why are both ICE and CPB not given much more extensive training to do their jobs?

We can train military officers in service academies for 4 years, but give CPB and ICE very little in the way of trading to deal with people, descalation, understanding our own immigration statuses, laws, and potential encounters. No language lessons or cultural understand training. We could and should do so much better!

It’s time to dramatically raise the professionalism of our CPB and ICE.
