"The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is quietly training its deportation officers in the use of weapons more familiar to the U.S. military than to domestic law enforcement, federal records show.

The agency’s Enforcement and Removal Officers are being trained in the use of M4 assault rifles, chemical agents, stun grenades, and flash bangs, according to federal procurement records reviewed by TYT. The M4 assault rifle is used extensively by the armed forces and has been the primary service weapon for the U.S. Marine Corps.

The records show that ICE sought a Chicago-area shooting range that could accommodate training involving the military-style weapons. The contract with the Howell Shooting Range covers one year, with an option for three more. The documents do not indicate which ICE agents would receive such training, but cites a “current annual need” to train up to 160 agents quarterly."
