ICE Is Building A 'State-Of-The-Art' 'Urban Warfare' Training Facility That Will Include 'Hyper-Realistic' Simulations Of Homes In Chicago And Arizona

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is looking to build a "state-of-the-art" "urban warfare" training facility that will include "hyper-realistic" simulations of homes, hotels and commercial buildings in Chicago and Arizona.

In an acquisition form for the procurement of "hyper-realistic training devices" for a new training facility for its expanding Special Response Team (SRT) program, ICE outlined the details of plans for its new training center in a document published on the U.S. Federal Business Opportunities website.

While ICE sought to redact the location of the new training facility in the document, it was not successful in doing so.

After copying and pasting the document's contents into a separate document, Newsweek was able to establish that the facility will be built at the Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs' (OFTP) Tactical Operations Complex (TOC) at Fort Benning, Georgia.

One of the first things a new Democratic president should do is shut down this atrocity.

They have a horrible track record in illegally arresting and detaining citizens of the USA, who will, (legally or not) at some point start to use firearms to prevent their being illegally arrested and detained. Their self-defense claims in court against "assault with a deadly weapon" and "kidnapping" will be hard to refute if such assault and kidnapping was carried out illegally by ICE.
