Recent incidents involving ICE agents have prompted scrutiny of their conduct, with specific attention on the training programs conducted at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center near Brunswick, Georgia. Demonstrations and public debates have highlighted concerns regarding ICE's actions and their impact on community relations. The facility’s history dates back to a World War II Navy base, and it is now a large, self-contained training complex with extensive security measures.
