ICE gearing up for war? US immigration agency runs assault rifle training, doubles M4 arsenal

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is training agents to use military-style weapons and tactical equipment and has more than doubled its arsenal of M4 assault rifles lately, according to public records.
The apparent effort by ICE to grow some extra muscle was spotted by The Young Turks YouTube channel, which reviewed ICE-related federal procurement records and reported their discoveries on Tuesday. One such contract shows that the officers of the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations will this year be trained in the use of assault weapons, chemical agents, stun grenades, and flash bangs at the Howell Shooting Range in Chicago area. The record says up to 160 agents may undergo the training quarterly.

A spokesperson for ICE told TYT that the training was meant to “sustain readiness as mandated by department training requirements.” A retired ICE agent said: “Sounds like they’re getting ready for war.”

WOW! Sounds like it to me!

And one of the things that has come out in past few days (at least to my awareness) is that ICE is under Homeland Security’s investigative branch and have to do with dealing with human trafficking.

This is very interesting and encouraging news, imho.

(As Cats PJs would say, “we’re gonna see a lot of “splody heads” on the left from it!)
