ICE is scaling up, with rapid new hiring. So we ask, has training new officers changed? At what cost? 


Also, the Trump administration has plans to pour billions of dollars into warehouses for mass immigrant detention centers, which can totally change the economy of some areas. We hear from a rural town in Georgia that wants an ICE facility in its own backyard.
