In this PJ Media article, David Manney reports that Department of Homeland Security officials are pushing back against claims that ICE agents are inadequately trained.
- DHS states that new ICE recruits complete 56 days of formal academy instruction followed by roughly 28 days of on-the-job training, disputing claims that training was shortened.
- Officials say no required training components were eliminated, but outdated or redundant material was replaced with updated, scenario-based instruction.
- The curriculum includes firearms certification, de-escalation techniques, and constitutional law instruction covering Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections.
- Reports suggesting Spanish-language instruction was cut are described as inaccurate, with DHS saying multilingual resources have been expanded.
- DHS notes that many ICE recruits are already experienced law enforcement officers who previously completed other police academies.
- The department has allocated approximately $750 million to hire and train 12,000 additional officers, including investments in upgraded facilities and simulation tools.
- The article argues that critics portray ICE enforcement as reckless while ignoring that operations often focus on individuals with serious criminal convictions.
- DHS maintains that current training standards are robust and that oversight mechanisms remain in place.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
