text_1: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning a six-day “Citizens Academy” training, including instruction on firearms and how to make arrests, for Chicago residents in September 2020.
text_2: "What's true: ICE is setting up a Citizens Academy they say will allow the agency to engage with civilians and ""debunk"" misconceptions about ICE. The academy will conduct scenario-based training on ""defensive tactics, firearms familiarization, and targeted arrests"" in Chicago so residents can see how ICE agents do their work. What's false: However, the agency's descriptions of the program do not say ICE will train members of the public to carry out arrests themselves, and ICE has explicitly denied activists' claims to that effect."
