Calls for more training for ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies means more investment in these systems and legitimizing the expansion of the role of the agent.
You Can’t Train Away ICE’s Terror
Investments toward a more trained immigration force will only uphold and legitimize mass deportation, family separation, and state terror.

Latest from me for @commondreams.org
A more trained mass deportation system is still a mass deportation system. A more trained agent of family separation is still an agent of family separation. A more trained armed stated terror presence in communities is still armed state terror.
